Thoughts: So today, it is officially over. I just spent 3500yen ($35) on dinner for my friend’s birthday. It felt so weird and I felt SO guilty and spent the whole time thinking about how outrageously expensive it is to eat out. Surely, it was a special occasion so I and people in general cant beat themselves up… I’m a firm believer with the saying “everything in moderation”. BUT, I think that this kind of spending is really needless. There are other ways we can have a “good” time and not splurge on frivolous things, ie. excess of alchol and rich/junk foods. I guess I am targeting this more towards peole who splurge carelessly, ie. celebrities and the rich. But at the same time, everyday people can change their lifestyles to help the planet (as a whole) by consuming less… and focusing on need rather than want.
