Consumerism

Tri Robinson’s article about simplicity brings up interesting questions and makes me wonder if President Obama’s call for responsibility and sacrifice will prompt American’s to live simpler lives.

…If our nation is really serious about tackling the environmental decline our world has entered, we need to return to a simpler way of living. Unfortunately, for many Americans duped into thinking the American way is fast, quick and easy, the truth is sobering. Going green may seem easy, but becoming sustainable–the real solution to our environmental problems–is going to be challenging.

…Are Americans willing to make the sacrifices in the short term necessary in order to put themselves and their children in a more hopeful situation in the future?
