I have a personal plan to weather what may come: stop buying crap I don't need and be a little more discerning on what I must buy. I looked at my Amazon orders lists and holy cow.....I can do much better. We are a consumer society for sure.

One of the fascinating aspects I find of this (though likely not a motivating factor and will also never be attributed to him) is that to buy less cheap crap from far away is actually a fundamentally responsible environmental practice. The more local your purchasing (for all countries), the better for your community and the planetary resources. And I would also love that there is diversity to travel again instead of the same stuff everywhere you go.

While I agree. I do find that some of the local stuff is from far away places.

I have been weeding stuff out as well. I am by no means extravagant but I can pare down
