Love this. Why, though, must these changes in the way we live always seem to come around in a time of crisis? Should this not be the status quo? And must we always be perceived as “consumers”? From an ecological standpoint we may be consumers, but of what? Food? And from an ecological stand point we always give back: our bodies, our lives. This is the next step from holding on to “consumerables” a little longer. Give back. Serve. Take a look at what the NY Times has to say about all this. Of course, it shows up on the business page.
