This is not a sustainable way of living and and more Americans are looking into alternative ways to live. The lifestyle of suburban isolation and consumption is unfulfilling for many.
More and more people are craving a lifestyle that is more intimate with the land and allows for authentic relationships and community involvement.
The idea behind our conventional lifestyle is convenience. It takes a shift at the root of how we live and where we choose to put our effort. We can continue to choose what is easy or we can invest in lifeways that will serve us into the future. The options are limitless once we discard our addiction to convention.
There are many other ways to live.
I enjoyed the theme of your 5 photo essay. There does seem to be a growing segment of the population that is looking for an alternative to the vast over-consumption that fuels our society. The last line of your post is quite powerful as a takeaway message and is so very true. There really are other ways to live! This post is a good reminder of that./lm
