With the gasoline prices @ more than $4.50 for unleaded in Los Angeles, the major shift how society is shifting their everyday habits in regards towards the high cost of living. Decision are made in taking a more responsible approach, away from the excess and greed that all of society is taking for granted.
More and more families & individuals are starting to realized the impact of the environment and the high cost of living, they are starting make conservation and responsible choices, on how they live their lives. Such as recycling, walking to shops at a short distance, composting yard and food waste, eat less meat, taking mass transportation (subway, train, bus-line), working close to home, growing organic fruits and vegetables, spending less money.
What is happening here in this global economy is people are starting to think locally and to invest into their own communities which are inundated with subdivisions and the built environment of strip malls, car shops and billboards that has no distinction. There is a movement to reassess how we live, communicate and to be engage with the public in moving towards a sustainable society. It is how suburban communities will eventually become urban and what are the ways to transition it into a integral part.
The important signs of this transition are coming to ahead and to look at the increasing depth and complexity in which we live in, how we take things for granted and the circumstances that surrounds it. To take a proactive search and understanding can only harness new ways of thinking and practice for the future.
The truth is we need to go a long way in order to see there is a future for mankind.
My shopping cart is limited and the world is wasteful.
