We all have become accustomed to "too much." This concept is definitely part of the modern American culture. I think it is sad the way that we have all lost our sense of enough. Losing this sense has caused us to be greedy and selfish and hoard up resources until our houses are merely the places to hold our stuff and there is no longer room to live. I have always loved the show (and books) "Little House on the Prairie." It amazed me how so many people could live in that little tiny house. But it was enough. Most in Walnut Grove had enough to live on, and if they had extra, they shared with their neighbors. Today, many Americans don't even know their neighbors. We could regain our sense of community and unity, then we would also become more green. If you care about your community and your neighbors, then you tend to think outside of yourself and you tend to do things that protect the surroundings of yourself and your neighbors.
