This document provides strategies for reducing consumption and environmental impact, including thinking about relationships with material possessions and the Earth, recycling, reusing and repairing items rather than throwing them out, refusing what is not needed, and reducing energy and material use by finding new purposes for old objects and sharing with others instead of continual new purchases.
