David, our political system is based on growth, which demands 'consumption'. without which our whole economy would disintegrate. I applaud your sentiments (and agree with them) but feel a tad cynical about things changing for ultruistic motives. Things will change, I've no doubt, but it will be as a result of global warming, not spiritual growth. You have certainly made a few people think with this provocative piece. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Sadly it is true....my mother has been a dress maker for clothing for years...and has done more alterations now...then actually making new...by the time you by the material notions and pattern...you can get it cheaper at the store...the only benefit is it is a one of a kind...but I have to agree with the food part....such a waste of all the food thrown out....I worked for a resort in Florida and we got our lunch for free...well it was always leftovers from the menus...sometimes it would look like gruel...and the workers would complain....I never did...I was thankful I had a free meal for a year when money was very tight....I like your soap box David...lol

Yes my friend but it's cheaper to buy new than repair old, sad but true.. Andy 10

yes even in Indian wedding scenes I see so much wastage of food...let's not waste it anymore... your poems are a social document meant for all....All praise to you... **Abha**
