In my view we actually need to commence an anti-comsumerism campaign. Yes it's going to mean short term pain for many however our economy as it stands is simply unsustainable.
That is buy less of the rubbish that clever marketers want people to buy in order to keep them on the economic growth/credit merry-go-round.
The simplest way to start to make our world a better place is to use people power - stop purchasing material goods that we don't need and are sending us broke with zero improvement to the quality of our lives, apart from some minor short term feeling of good!
