I was just listening to your interview with catherine Ryan on Radio NZ. I have been doing this for a few years now and it is amazing how much more of life one really sees without all that stuff. I notice that now it is almost second nature with me to avoid places that sell lots of "stuff". I do wonder what this sort of philosphical cange will do to consumerist societies like America, Australia, the U.K. and New Zealand.
