Reduce - Remove "Discretionary" and "Accessories" from Your Life

This seemingly obvious point is probably the most difficult to achieve in this materialistic age.

- Do you really need that Blackberry or iPhone? And a cool casing, belt-pack, bluetooth and all the add ons to go with that too?

- Do you really need all these souvenirs, mugs, magnets, postcards, hats and t-shirts?

- Do you really need new gloves, or that more fashionable pair of pants?

- Do you really need cable TV, or premium internet service?

- Do you really need to buy more chocolate or OREO cookies and pack on one extra pound to carry around?

- And yes... do you (actually I) need one more cup of coffee and one more book?


Why talk green if we cannot even moderate these things that got us into to this environmental mess in the first place?
