Living resourciently is about how you can retain the joyfulness, richness and vitality we all seek but do so in a way that is far less harmful to the planet, unnecessarily consumptive of nonrenewable resources, damaging to the lives and health of others, or stealing the future from our children.  It is about substituting those habits that bring ongoing pleasure for those that addict us to short-term highs, substituting lifelong health for momentary vanity, avoiding the shimmering object to find lasting beauty.  

Amazingly, these joys are all around us, broadly available and frequently free, substituting consumption of goods for consumption of pleasure.
