Voluntary Simplicity

I think that voluntary simplicity is an interesting idea, especially in our culture today. Desiring things that are better for the human community, but nature in particular. When people go in to a store and buy things, they are thinking abou how their purchase may effect nature and the envionment. Our society is more worried about what our purchase says about us or what we want. When peope gon shopping they don't think about all the other shirts or purses or items that they have. They are focused on what they want at the time. I think it would be a good idea for our society to live more simply. It would be hard, but if we our society would just cut back on buying and having more and more, the natural and human communities would be a little better off. You can't make people completely change their whole lifestyle, but it is about baby steps with cutting back so that we can get to an endpoint that will make more people happy and make the community better off. Our society needs to make compromises. We need to cut back so that we can stop using up all of the resources and having way too many things. I think that voluntary simplicity is an idea that many Americans should consider trying to veer away from our wasteful ways to better the communities around us.
