What have you given up so far this year? Far from trying to make you feel bad (we live in a land of plenty, after all), it’s an interesting thought experiment.
Take disposable products, for example. It’s a fallacy that landfill sites have infinite capacity: just because we can’t see them doesn’t mean they’re not filling up. It could stand us all in good stead to take a look at the disposable products we consume and make a concerted effort to lighten the load.
