“I wanted to show how much waste there is nowadays, in this society where money is God and unbridled consumerism is sold as the remedy for every cure.”<\/h2>\n

Rob Greenfield<\/strong> is a common guy, who until 2011 lived fully immersed in the global consumerism<\/strong>. He wanted all the advertised objects and bought dresses to impress other people. One day his life completely changed, and his life philosophy became \u201cless is more\u201d.<\/p>\n

A new life style<\/h2>\n

He got informed of all environmental matters<\/strong><\/a>, and then he decided to change his life style<\/strong>, and embraced the new \u201cless is more<\/strong>\u201d philosophy.<\/p>\n

The young guy realized not only it was possible to live without wastes,<\/strong> but he understood also he used to live better with less things<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the role of a modern Hercules, Rob<\/strong> faced several hardships. In some of them he crossed all the USA by<\/strong> bicycle<\/strong> <\/a>with no money. Furthermore, he ate food by nature<\/strong> only.<\/p>\n

He also moved carrying on all wastes<\/strong> <\/a>of a month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For the last challenge<\/strong> he decided to live in a little cottage<\/strong> built<\/strong> by himself<\/strong> for a year. He used to eat autoproduced food only.<\/p>\n

Less is more<\/h2>\n

“When I discovered all the environmental problems of our planet, I realized that there is always someone who pays for the items we buy. Forests<\/strong>, clean air,<\/strong> water<\/strong>. The nature<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Rob’s “less is more”<\/strong> is a big cry, to attract the attention of a society devoted to consumerism. And he wants to teach us how to compensate<\/strong> and show us how far we can go.<\/p>\n

We need just few rules to change the world:<\/strong><\/p>\n
