Worth Reading

I finished a book yesterday - a fabulous book - about reducing your personal consumption. It's called Not Buying It - My Year Without Shopping by Judith Levine. I really enjoyed it, and actually took a few notes - or rather - jotted down a few things that I want to write here - so KNOW that these are from her book, and Judith Levine gets all credit for the following . . .

when talking about our generation - "whose soundtrack is television"

when describing herself - a "counterculturalist to the culture of the counter"

other things to think about or look up later - ecological footprint,
Voluntary Simplicity, Radical Simplicity by Jim Merkel

Of course I didn't BUY the book - I checked it our from our local library - something she learns a lot about during her year of abstinence - something I am particularly proud of as a librarian myself.

So here's a link to Amazon where you can purchase it yourself - or visit your local library like I did.
