Consumerism is a pattern of behavior that helps to destroy our environment, personal financial health, the common good of individuals and human institutions. This site details ways that you can help defeat consumerism, save money, work less and lead a more satisfying and environmentally benign life while helping to restore the economic self-sufficiency of your community. Another goal is to showcase Resources/References that can help the reader become an educated grass-roots activist starting from any level of commitment and knowledge.
