Proof of Consumerism and Decay Part 2

What are people doing about consumerism and decay?  There are the known groups—Slow Food International, Five Talents, Opportunity International, etc. Yet people are doing their own small thing as well. Dave Bruno started a blog called Stuck in Stuff that chronicles his journey to get down to owning only 100 things.  Another blog that chronicles this type of anti-consumerism behavior is the lovely Unclutterer, which is, well, about getting rid of clutter.  Every Wednesday Unclutter chronicles a device sold across America that is bought all the time but utterly useless and smacks of laziness and gluttony for stuff.  They call them unitaskers: something that costs a lot of money to do only one thing and just takes up space and adds stress to your life.  Last week the unitasker was the French Fry Cutter from William-Sonoma that only cuts potatoes into french fries, retailing at a price that will make you scream!  I am sure you can take out a knife, peel the potato, and start cutting away—you can live without a french fry cutter, and maybe donate the money to a charity of some sort.
