Who wouldn't want more money?
The problem about using energy techniques to attract more money without ever asking 'how much is enough' is that earth is finite.
Our desire for cheap goods has fueled the economies of poorer nations.
It's now almost impossible to buy goods that don't have a manufacturing link to countries like China.
Companies, driven by our desire for cheap goods and services and their desire for greater profits, have relocated offices, shifted manufacturing or outsourced services, such as call centres, to cheaper countries.
Whilst some countries have food mountains other countries are destroying their rainforests in order to provide cheap paper for takeaways, cheap furniture or cheap food products. This includes so called 'rich' countries like Australia.
As individuals, nations and as a species we are out of balance with our environment.
Never in the history of man has there been such riches, waste and such destruction all at the same time.
If “value for money” means companies lay off staff, a nutritionally poor meal is super sized and your carbon footprint becomes grossly enlarged, do you really want it?
Put simply the more we consume the more we deplete, and for some of us the cheaper things are the more we consume them. Homes have multiple TV's or computers, jewelry boxes are full, and wardrobes have more clothes in them than we can wear out. Fridges are filled with more food than we can eat.
Ask yourself right now- do you really believe in consume/deplete now and worry later? Do you really want to show others how rich you are if it pushes you past your financial means and consumes more from the earth than you and your family needs?
