Many of the things you listed, people already do. Though they are most likely in the minority and I assume, will stay one as long as the average income stays the way that people pay taxes and consume things.

I myself do not pay taxes since about eight years or so, I fly under the radar and earn so little that the machine leaves me alone. I lost my interest in buying new things, I even started to detest being a consumer. Instead, I use up all the materials I've got and try to repair and re-use things. ... I could continue with this list but it should be clear by now that I am on the side of those who started to change. Not since yesterday - it probably was part of my life in one or another way.

What I would like to say to people and to you who want other people to change not to emphasize what they should or should not do, in particular when it comes to things like food and drugs. People have different paces, different styles and also different addictions. I think we all are addicted in one or the other way and we stick to them because deep down we realize that our lives are un-free to a great degree.

For example, I am a smoker. And I am not vegan, not even fully vegetarian, though I eat little meat. Hearing from all over the places, how bad it is to eat industrial food but having no alternative right away, is demotivating. I am not only talking to you but also to those who find it holy to go public with what the have greatly achieved and their daily diets and yoga and stuff like that. I almost think of them as eco-dictators. I am fed up with this guilt trippers.

People are so different, they all are not dumb and need much more inspiration and motivation instead of pointing fingers and perfect examples of "look how sustainable I am living".

Sorry, I got carried away.

Having said all, I think your suggestions are truly of value and head to the right direction. I appreciate that you mentioned the taxes and living from little money, otherwise I wouldn't have thought to mention my own situation. What I want to say: It's easier than most people think to live from a small income (in case the rent is affordable one must ad). But no matter, where one starts, with food or taxes, we all, I think, can realize that we can do something.

Bye for now.
