The Simplicity Project
Goals
"Simple living" is not "easy living" but it is in the end more satisfying. It has been said that the unexamined life is a life not worth living. We are, after all, rational beings, seeking a satisfied life of personal fulfillment.
As Greens motivated by the 4 pillars of the GP, we know that peace(#1) is achieved through social justice(#2) which promotes grassroots democracy(#3) resulting in ecological wisdom(#4) - getting more with less.
To that effect the goal is to promulgate information on:
- The ways to simplify
- The true cost of living
- The reasons behind living simply
- The support groups across the country
