The Power of Money

You've hit the nail right on the head, thank you! There is so much we can do to curb our rampant consumerism. Some of these things are:

1. Growing our own food

2. Refusing to purchase throwaway goods such as individually wrapped one-serving items.

3. Reducing gasoline consumption by only using motorized vehicles when necessary, and walking or cycling everywhere else.

4. Reducing heating and cooling usage, or going off the grid altogether with Solar.

5. Making some of our own clothing.

6. Refusing to use credit cards.

These are just a few things that help cut the money flow to the elites. The only real way to affect them is through the purse strings.
