I keep having this feeling that i waste this planet's resources with my presence here. Do any of you feel the same? Every time i see the garbage bag getting full i get angry because i'm contributing to waste. I thought about getting into drawing but it's such a huge waste of resources just so i can express my feelings so i didn't. When i go to the supermarket i get depressed especially when i see families with small children buying all sorts of crap that they're gonna use once/twice and throw it away....Heck i guess i'm really really depressed.
Same. Even with the drawing. So many dead trees and wasted money. I save junk mail sometimes and primer it to paint on which makes me feel a bit better.
If you have a decent pc or tablet, you can do digital art, which would reduce one kind of waste. I don't, but only because I'm only interested in traditional.
I'll even justify my not showering with "saving water". It isn't good to think of yourself as less worthy like that, though. If they can have it, so can we.
I HATE waste of any kind, and it definitely weighs on my mind, whether it's rational or not. Waste is part of the process, no matter what it is. You can reduce, but never entirely eliminate. I call it "cost of learning".
