As
well
as
transitioning
to
the
Simpler
Way
ourselves,
it
is
also
important
that
at
least
some
of
us
help
bring
more
attention
to
the
Simpler
Way
by
becoming
activists
for
the
cause.
In
a
world
where
we
are
constantly
bombarded
with
advertisements
telling
us
that
‘more
is
always
better,’
more
people
need
to
see
that
there
is
a
viable
and
desirable
alternative
to
consumer
lifestyles.
Perhaps
you
can
you
help
spread
the
word? EMAIL

This
is
a
simple,
quick,
and
costless
act,
but
it
may
resonate
far
wider
that
you
would
have
ever
expected,
like
ripples
in
a
cultural
pond.
It
may
well
help
free
people
from
the
chains
of
consumer
culture.
Living
simply
in
a
consumer
culture
can
be
very
challenging,
but
this
guidebook
provides
a
free
and
accessible
introduction
to
the
practice
of
the
Simpler
Way.
As
you
have
seen,
there
are
hundreds
of
ideas
in
this
document
about
how
to
live
more
on
less.
Please
share
it
with
others. EMAIL
THIS
POST TO
YOUR
LOCAL
SCHOOLS,
CITY
COUNCILORS,
AND
MEMBERS
OF
PARLIAMENT:
Again,
this
is
a
simple
and
costless
act
with
potentially
huge
implications.
Imagine
children
learnt
about
living
simply
in
schools?
Imagine
our
political
representatives
started
talking
about
simple
living?
Soon
enough
our
world
would
change. JOIN
OR
ESTABLISH
A
COMMITTEE
TO
CREATE
A
COMMUNITY
GARDEN:
Get
a
few
interested
individuals
together
and
form
a
plan.
Do
some
research
on
where
the
best
place
for
a
community
garden
would
be;
then
contact
your
city
council
and
try
to
get
the
ball
rolling.
Keep
at
it. GUERRILLA
GARDENING:
This
term
refers
to
the
cultivation
of
land
that
you
don’t
own
but
which
you
think
you
can
enrich
by
cultivating
productively
–
without
permission,
as
such.
Moderate
Guerrilla
Gardeners
cultivate
their
nature
strips
without
seeking
council
approval.
More
serious
practitioners
survey
their
neighbourhoods
for
other
suitable
spots.
Seek
and
ye
shall
find.
It
is
important
to
be
sensible,
of
course.
One
shouldn’t
plant
anything
that
might
block
vision
of
traffic,
for
example.
But
after
taking
such
precautions
–
and
after
cultivating
your
own
garden
first
–
one
can
then
proceed
confidently,
knowing
that
Guerrilla
Gardening
is
a
peaceful
and
honourable
act
of
opposition.
Such
acts
will
be
justified
in
the
eyes
of
posterity. ESTABLISH
A
‘SIMPLICITY
CIRCLE’:
Invite
a
group
of
interested
individuals
to
your
place
(or
some
other
venue)
for
the
purpose
of
discussing
all
aspects
of
living
simply.
This
is
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
share
information
and
ideas
and
the
discussion
process
can
be
very
affirming.
You
don’t
have
to
be
an
expert.
