A Moneyless World

HAve you ever had that feeling that you're caught in a grind? Working for the sake of getting money just to keep up?

Well, I'm pretty sure Briton Mark Boyle felt that way. Last year, he decided to live a life without money!

Here's what he says:

In six years of studying economics, not once did I hear the word "ecology". So if it hadn't have been for the chance purchase of a video called Gandhi in the final term of my degree, I'd probably have ended up earning a fine living in a very respectable job persuading Indian farmers to go GM, or something useful like that. The little chap in the loincloth taught me one huge lesson – to be the change I wanted to see in the world. Trouble was, I had no idea back then what that change was.

When I see and read this, I kind of envy the man. Life seems so much simpler; a better connection with nature.
I don't think this is a life most of us could sustain,  but it's a good reminder of how much waste we have in our lives and that we should work to reduce the excess.

What do you think?
