55 More Fun, Less Stuff
"We need to end the game of Monopoly and start playing the game of sustainability – recognizing the limitations of the planet and building our systems to live within those." Those are the wise words of Mike Nickerson, author of Life, Money & Illusion: Living on Earth as If We Want to Stay. In this episode Mike explains why he is promoting the mantra, "more fun, less stuff."
We're in a "tailspin consumerist debacle," according to Mike, and he's quite sure we need to be "liberated from the materialist cult." Our discussion includes the American Dream, the voluntary simplicity movement and the role of advertising in our overconsumption.
