		<description>I think one big reason is because we conceive of it mostly as something where we have to give up some things we like to stop doing things. To the degree this is the case, we as story-makers can help with this by finding and/or creating and putting out there a sense of what people are moving toward when they make green changes in their lives.

I make many food choices out of ecological concerns - but what are the health benefits? And what is life like on a small organic farm (vs. factory farming)? While i do still fly around to things, i also am putting more focus on knitting together my local community. There&#039;s some beautiful stuff that happens when the people who are part of my life are also part of each other&#039;s lives - synchronicities and serendipities that support all of us to grow more, to be happier. Many people (myself included) who start acting toward creating a simpler life in time find a draw to it (rather than a push away from the clutter and complexity). When our lives our simpler, the things that matter are easier to sense into - they stick out more. Drawing out these realities and presenting them to people in forms they can really get would probably be of major support both to people who are making big changes in their lives, and those who haven&#039;t yet.</description>
