When was the last time you fixed something instead of buying new, and how did that make you feel?
@9K8P452Independent3mos3MO
Made me feel great. It saved me money and that’s just common safe.
@9K8NXP53mos3MO
I have always preferred to fix what I have regardless of whether or not I can afford to replace it. Having been impoverished for a decade due to disability, I rarely have the option to buy anything new.
It feels good to do stuff on your own. Independent work without depending too much on other companies.
@9K8P5BC3mos3MO
I try my best to fix things that can be fixed because in todays economy it’s hard to afford anything let alone replace things you already have.

Describe a time when doing something resourceful gave you a sense of achievement.
I gave a homeless person money and it made me feel proud because they weren't hungry anymore.

How might living within our means change our daily choices and their impact on the planet?
@9H7VFRDRepublican6mos6MO
It will change our daily choices like recycling more or producing less plastic. It might better the health of the planet.
If we focus more on that then our planet would be really clean we would be getting the bigger problems done and be able to take care of problems as soon as they happen.
@9H7W2GG6mos6MO
We will need to be more conscious of the things that are occurring in the world.
@9H7V6WK6mos6MO
Living within our means change our daily choices and their impact on the planet because we sometimes don't have a choice.

If you had the power to change one aspect of the global economy toward sufficiency, what would it be and why?
@9HGWCF75mos5MO
Put a time limit on government assistance for those who aren't physically or mentally disabled. Stop sending so much money to foreign countries. We have plenty of things to use that money on here, or use it to help lower the national debt.
@9HGW27W5mos5MO
The global economy should shift to a more decentralized, liberal socialism economy.

How can we use social media to promote a culture of sustainability among young people?

When have you felt most connected to your community without spending money?
@Drew-DoehringRepublican 2mos2MO
When I am volunteering to do something that will help build/develop the community. Essentially, giving back without making any money from my work.
@9KYMP5D 2mos2MO
community events, such as "art at the park" or even little things like being in the city and playing a sport with a group of locals getting to know them the more we play.

Describe a local or family tradition that embodies the idea of sufficiency and its significance to you.
@9JHX5SV4mos4MO
The basic idea of a sufficiency economy is a body which practices moderation in growth and spending of assets. My family has a tradition of being "late adopters" of new technology. We purchase and drive used cars, purchase year-old phones and electronics and other circumstances in which the public are testing and experimenting with new ideas or technology. This is done since it is a more affordable way of living and allows any issues to be sorted out with new technological devices.
@9JHVN7K4mos4MO
When we cook for thanksgiving and we make the amount of food we need.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
Imagine a world where everyone practiced sufficiency; what do you think would change in society?
@9HJTS735mos5MO
Everything, produce only that which creates a locally sustainable environment, that is decent and allows you to live with dignity, so no dont eat bugs because i know what this question aims at
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
What personal sacrifices would you be willing to make for a self-reliant community?
@9HJC85Y5mos5MO
I would be willing to give up many products that do not use sustainable packaging or sourcing
@9HJBJ645mos5MO
Personnel sacrifices I'd be willing to make for a whole self-reliant community would be nothing, because it's our nature as people to work together and rely on each other when in need.
