Wish List Banishing

I recevied this short letter via email
"well done mate, you've got a wish list on the web-site of a massively rich corporation... I love your tactic of tackling consumerism, by getting people to spend money on you...no. That's not cool." - Dan Harris
A good point raised there Dan!
I've always said the only think I want to keep with me when I finally settle down somewhere is the collection of books I've read. If I was to pass on something to any potential offspring, it would be my books as they largely go to create who I am. Most of my ideas come from the books and texts I've read.
But on the other hand, rampant consumerism is without doubt one of the biggest issues facing our global environment and it needs to be curbed quickly. We all need to choose way more carefully the material objects we spend money on. With that said, I think books are probably one of the safer bets. Books and bicycles!
Dan, thanks for your input. I do still believe books are really essential in my life so the wish-list stays. I will, however, endeavour to find a less corporate outlet to put my list on in the near future. If you know of any eco-friendly, book co-operatives, please let me know...
Cheeers,
Sean
