I think we are undergoing a dramatic shift in how many of us perceive the world and our place in it. ( for those who live in the US anyway- better late than never)

Finances have already motivated our own family to live simply- ( I admit my husband does like his power tools)- but since I have become more aware of resources consumed to manufacture products that are produced with a short lifespan in mind-
I am motivated to look for pre-used goods- grow more of my own food- buy new items that are repairable.

Yes this may cost some manufacturing jobs in China/Mexico- and it may seem like a drop in the bucket- but it has been more satisfying than looking for the latest thing.
