WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE
OF SIMPLICITY
+ Here are three of the goals of The Center for a New American Dream:
·
Inspiring,
engaging, and challenging Americans to re-examine their cultural values on
consumption and consumerism and initiating a new national conversation around
what “the good life” and the “American dream” mean.
·
Providing
tools and support to families, citizens, and activists to counter our
consumerist culture and to create new social norms about how to have a high
quality of life and a reduced ecological footprint.
·
Providing
tools and support to community members to create local initiatives that build
local capacity and leadership, increase environmental sustainability, and
foster greater livability and vitality.
+ I discovered this website several years ago and have
all too rarely returned to it. I am
grateful for the many people who have come to realize and are coming to realize
that Gandhi got it right when he said: “There is enough for everybody’s need
but not for everybody’s greed.” What’s
happening where you are to “increase environmental sustainability, and foster
greater livability and vitality?” If we can find our way to achieve simplicity we can renew the
face of the earth and feel good about being human, called by God to take care of the planet.
