Response to Juliet Schor

Buying a big house, toys, and expensive things is the typical "American Dream". I believe that this has become a huge trend for most of America. It would be really hard or maybe even imposable to change that trend. This is how people show their success and wealth, its a status symbol that many people work hard to achieve. On the other hand I think its possible to start heading towards an earth friendly future. This is a realist change that is necessary to make the world a better place.
