Green Tuesdays Monona: Escape from Affluenza

The film Escape from Affluenza shows how adopting practices of simple living creates independence from the epidemic of rampant consumerism and materialism that ails Americans and the environment. It uses expert commentary, thought-provoking vignettes and humor to show how people can reduce their consumption and simplify their lives. With stories of real people from Seattle to the Netherlands who have altered their lifestyles and re-discovered the joy of living, Escape from Affluenza offers the antidote to debt, stress, time-pressure, and possession-overload.
