Today I've been reading and thinking about the domestic sphere, working outside the home and doing productive work at home. I'm attempting to reconcile independence and meaningful work, making a contribution and not doing harm. I'm reading Sharon Astyk's fabulous 2008 book Depletion and Abundance: Life on the new home front. Much to think about.
I'm wondering about why I work, why I want to work and why I don't. Ultimately I am trying to work out what the essentials are - the interconnections between luxuries and necessities and choice. What are the absolute necessities for a full and happy life? What can I give up and what should I include in my plan?
I'd like to know what you couldn't live without. I'm seriously thinking of never buying new consumer durables again. There is so much stuff, so much waste and so little real recycling. But I'm less clear about what should constitute necessary non-durables. I'll keep thinking; hope you do too!
