@ReneeWestberry The small changes of a few million would be massive. My personal drumbeat is how miserable most of consumer culture makes us - we aren't participating for OUR benefit. The more I drop from status quo lifestyle, the happier I am.

If we truly wanted any of it, they wouldn't have to spend trillions to sell it to us.

If we just decided to abstain - not out of asceticism or self-denial, but just from distaste, exhaustion, disinterest - things would change in very short order.

@cwicseolfor @ReneeWestberry #RepairReuseRecycle Internally I always add #Repurpose as an artist I can always see a new life for most objects. A teapot without a lid becomes an opportunity to create a tiny tableau, rusted flange washers become earrings as do easily sawn broken cymbals…😊

Even stale Cream of Wheat from the back of the pantry got a second life as faux stucco when I mixed it with the paint on the cat house I made to match my BFs house. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Art deco teapot, where the lost lid has been replaced with an action figure painted black and climbing out of a flat black surface at the top of the teapot. He’s holding a chain with a grappling hook on the end that’s attached to the spout of the teapot to help him climb out.. under the photograph on the mat, which is the same colo yellowr as teapot  are the words “She liked strong black tea, but this was ridiculous”  @Pineywoozle
