r Ted Trainer talks about why he aims to live more simply.

The Conjoint Lecturer in the School of Social Sciences, University of New South Wales, has long written about sustainability and justice issues for many years and here he puts “The Case for Simplicity”.

The second reason is that living simply enables a richer personal life.
