This is a link to a very good video about the stuff in our lives. I don't feel quite so bad about not going back to work quite so quickly and trying to get stuff 2nd hand or from freecycle, just generally trying to consume less. I can't see this changing globally fast enough but I remain optimistic. However, I do wonder if the only way to break the consumer train is for everyone on the planet to stand up to the governments and corporations perpetuating this in order to 'protect our economy' in other words keep the rich richer.

I hope I can try to keep away from cheap stuff and get stuff cheap by buying it from someone who's already got fed up with it/doesn't need it anymore/grown out of it etc.
