whoa here in Costa Rica a lot of thunder
where I'm living and this picture right
here on my phone is actually taken in
Coburg Ontario Canada and Colberg is
just about an hour an hour and a half
from Toronto East and so this is Lake
Ontario as you can see and today I want
to talk a little bit about minimalism I
might have spoken about it before but I
just want to talk a little bit more
about this
so minimalism is where one ceases to buy
things unless they absolutely need to
buy something minimalism is so much more
it's about living with very little
things and understanding that all we
need is to live with a little bit of
things we don't need all kinds of
material possessions just whatever we
need in order to share veganism with the
world with everyone as many people as we
can and so we we try our best to
minimize our buying choices and whenever
we need to buy something we see if that
product is available or similar product
is available use that a thrift shop or
through buying from individual people
like Anki GG or Craigslist or things
like that or Facebook marketplace and
understanding that look I don't want to
bring more garbage into this world
because eventually everything or at
least you know almost anything will be
thrown away eventually
because nothing lasts forever and
eventually everything will be thrown
away and I mean there must be a way to
create new material from that old
material instead of just throwing it
into the landfill but in the meantime we
need to do whatever we can in order to
minimize our buying and spending I mean
yeah once in a while it's okay to go to
you know cinema to see a movie or things
like that but even that is materialism
it's really about you know that we don't
get the entertainment through other
means I mean yeah we can watch a nice
movie or we can watch a nice documentary
on our computers or connect it to our
TVs but in the end we really need to
realize that what we need to do is we
need to get out of cities and we need to
stop relying on governments or in city
services which is owned by governments
or run by governments for the water
electricity and food so we have to buy
from local farmers markets produce our
own energy and water and or get our own
water and grow our own food so this is
what we really need to do and we need to
spend less time and unfortunately now
I'm transitioning away from this
lifestyle and I'm teaching people how to
do this like like what to do the answer
and that we need to do this really like
we need to go out into nature live in
nature or closer to nature in a rural
area very small town maybe even a
village start to grow all our own food I
mean all our food not relying on on
these supermarkets because remember the
government at any time can take away our
water supply our food supply and our
electricity supply our energy supply and
we don't know what's gonna happen I mean
there I've been blackouts where people
have been left without power
water and food or maybe not food but
power and you know energy electricity
and water for many days weeks and I even
heard of months and so a generator a
generator is definitely not going to cut
it because don't forget we are being
supplied the oil and the gas okay -
let's say power the the gas generator
and we really need to realize that we're
still dependent on somebody for that oil
or that gas that we need to power that
generator and so we have to come up with
solutions permanent solutions where we
get away from relying on anyone okay all
we will do is rely on let's say
community members to help us maybe
different people have different skills
and they you know one is a good plumber
or one is it good
I don't know public speaker or one is a
good teacher or one is a good
facilitator or one is it good to do
electricity yours you know like the
people have different skills and talents
and we rely on ourselves and also the
community members so we work all
together to create you know we create
veganic homesteading communities and out
in nature okay and we need to strive
slowly within the next few years to get
to that state to get to that living
quarters where we're living in nature
and began at home studying community
where we're becoming fully self
sustainable we're growing starting to
grow our food and wanting to grow all
our food so being self sustainable as
much as we possibly can close to a
hundred percent now it may not be
possible maybe with internet but even
that we need to decrease our dependence
on that
use it you know a couple times a week if
that and yeah just do our best to try to
make ends meet and for people who have
the financial means to help other people
that are trying to create these
communities or trying to share veganism
with with people and yeah we just we
just need to help each other and vegans
and raw vegans come together band
together and as anarchist and mod
conformist come all together to create
this world we really want to live in and
so minimalism is all about all of these
things basically trying to come together
and create this life which we were
living probably thousands of years ago
more nature more in harmony with nature
and all the other free-roaming animals
in nature and realizing that this is the
time this is the time that we really
need to get back to living like that so
I want to thank you for joining me
please do again sign up for the forum I
haven't been contributing much to reform
yet but we'll do next few weeks and
months as time goes on but we'll have
limited internet most likely within the
next few months until the border is open
I will yeah we'll have very limited
internet I'm trying to find a solution
to have unlimited internet wherever I go
and there are solutions to this so
that's what I'm trying to look into
getting so that's really about it
