I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

Good on you for caring.I worry about my consumption, but then all one can do is ones best. Don’t mean to sound pompous.
Sounds like American consumerism has spread to the world. It’s so easy when everything you see and hear is buy buy buy. If you don’t have money we’ll make you a loan.
We do you one better. We rent storage space to keep them because we can bear to throw them away. Then our kids get to deal with it when we’re gone. Or our stuff made an episode of “Storage Kings”.

I have developed a slogan, which is also a chiasmus (wordplay)… it goes:
‘We must all do what we can and we can do what we must’.
Gets around blaming things on others.

Most of it is stuff we don’t need and end up throwing away.
