I went backpacking for 3 months in nature. It is easy to lose the desire for more stuff when you have to carry it on your back. Even easier when you can clearly see the connection between your body and life and the water you drink coming out of the ground. Why would you ever want to pollute the Earth that is so vital for your survival when you can taste the raw connection you have to it so strongly? Seeing directly that every place is within walking distance shows you with startling clarity that there is no safe place to pollute, destroy, stash the waste.
