If you live it the US get a copy of SUN magazine. This month it has an interview with Duane Elgin talking about his view of voluntary simplicity. It was Duane Elgin's books that initiated interest in simplicity and few authors have come close to his clarity of thinking. Here are some quotes from SUN magazine.
"It's not so much about living with less as it is about living with purpose and balance." "Rich or poor, the whole world needs to be thinking about and exploring new ways of living." He goes on to talk about the influence of mass media and how that steers cultures towards change or degrades life for everyone. Some web pages mentioned were: www.ourmediavoice.com www.awakeningearth.com www.OregonSolutions.net Duane has always included ecology, earth care, and sustainability in his philosophy. His contribution has been to approach them from as an individual choice and this evolved into voluntary simplicity. He now appears to be looking at the internet and other ways of approaching earth care. jeff
