Consume! throw! Consume again!

If you have 20 minutes to spare, check this out. A great video about the consumer way of life - and what are the implications to our planet, and society, and happiness. So Michal and I are doing at least one thing right - we do not watch TV (we do watch DVD movies and shows - but no ads, and we don’t really watch a lot).

I also try to limit the stuff I buy. For example I try not to buy a lot of presents for all my nephews - I’m sure I’m less popular because of it, but it’s for the greater good.  Actually this year my sister and I decided that instead of buying birthday presents - we’ll give a donation in each other’s behalf. Cool!

I need to stop wanting new gadgets (I really need a new camera… damn). And to stop buying stuff I don’t need (which I’m getting better at). It also saves money, which is a good thing when we’re both almost not earning anything ;-)
