ACTIVISM

Living simply and by example is one of the most important ways to be an activist. Try a few of these ideas:

• Prepare your own meals. Knowing what we eat is like knowing where our life comes from.
• Carry a cup, bowl and chopsticks with you. If you can’t prepare your own meals, at least you can avoid plastic and styrofoam.
• Bring your own bag to the grocery store. Let other people see you doing this – it feels good.
• Write letters. A letter is a gift, the physical artifact of an hour spent with a friend in mind.
• Love your work. The money may follow. The money may not. Either way, this will simplify your life.
• Travel by foot. You might meet some interesting people who are also your neighbors.
