In an effort to be a more responsible consumer, I've tried to make my purchases from the "green" section of the supermarket. Purchasing items such as Seventh Generation cleaners, paper towels, organic product such as rices, jams and pastas. I stick to vegetarian cuisine when I can. What struck me recently in a trip to the pillaged supermarket was that the "green" section of the grocery store hadn't been ravaged. In fact, people think so little of buying more environmentally friendly products that it was the only section of the supermarket to still have toilet paper. I am in no way a man of means, in fact I've tried to swear off the use of money where I can because I know it is created by a corrupt and revolting government that poisons the world with war, violence, lies and terror. Though I make efforts to be conscientious when exercising my use of capital, it was striking to notice that almost no one else does. No one even thought to check the "eco-friendly" section. Dried rice, canned goods and beans were still available in this department that is supposed to be more socially responsible. I can barely afford to make these more expensive purchases of organic product and have spent many of my days going to different establishments to get the lowest price possible on organic goods. Its the least I can do for this beautiful planet. Amazing. I know Whole Foods has become a phenomenon though there are none all that close to me (approximately a 45 minute drive to reach and 45 to return). The term "Whole Paycheck" have been used to describe these stores and if you don't meticulously search the shelves for bargains you'll be fleeced of many a coin. Bezos pockets haven't been stuffed sufficiently with the dross of banknotes yet ($113.9 billion and counting). You never can be too rich.
If you had $1,000,000,000 and spent $1,000 a day, after 365 days you’d have 999,335,000 if nothing else was happening. Since that $1,000,000,000 would have been in some sort of bank or investment etc, during that year it would have made at least .1% or $1,000,000, which means you’d more like have at least $1,335,000,00 All in all, at a rate of $365,000 out and $1,000,000 in, you could never spend all of the money. (of course it’s not so round, and maybe you make 3% or more on such a large sum, or perhaps you get less than .1%, and inflation would make that $1,000 a day to spend go up.
If you just kept all the money in a mattress though, it would seem that at $365,000 a year, you’d run out of money in a couple thousand years, which means the actual answer would still be you would’t spend it all, or that it would last however long it was you lived.
We live in this world for but a day. All of our castles will return to sand. Its not just what you take with you in your life, in what you have found, and what you have learned. Its what you leave behind as well.
The Seventh Generation Principle is based on an ancient Iroquois philosophy that the decisions we make today should result in a sustainable world seven generations into the future.Go fuck yourself world.
