Oh and on society deteriorating, I'm in the middle of reading Dark Age Ahead by Jane Jacobs, who points out the similarities between our society and societies that have gone into dark ages... just in case you didn't have enough to be depressed about... the introduction of the book says she offers hope, though, so I'll have to see what that is once I get a little further along in the book. :)
OH! And the PACKAGING! Seriously! I don't even know what to do about it! I need razors! Can you buy a razor that doesn't come in a package? Or, how about that stuff that comes in like, TWO packages? I don't even know what to do about it! Write letters, I guess, and buy stuff with less packaging where possible.
Oh, and one last word on limiting consumption of new products:
