I couldn’t agree more with this quote from Joanna at Planetsave in her story about the new documentary, I AM:<\/p>\n
A tree doesn\u2019t take more than it needs, and neither should people. We live in giant mansions and drive hummers to prove to a culture that we are worthy. In contrast to that, we only need a bicycle to go to the grocery store or a home that doesn\u2019t have more rooms than you possibly need. When we follow what we are truly passionate about, we not only live happier lives, we also leave behind a more natural world. <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Don’t you love the idea of just being who you are and not worrying so much about conforming to what society and marketers think<\/a> we need to own, wear, and look like in order to be happy?<\/p>\n
