When we need garbage bins
Of this size
At regular intervals
In a shopping area
We know we live in
An extravagant society ~
A throw away society
~
If only we could

Often, extravagance is associated with devaluing something. Once an item has served its purpose, it is discarded, maybe even forgotten. Here is a posting on AuraGem Songlines ~ Cuddly Worlds ~ reflecting on this idea in my own life.

strong message you have in there..glad to see people making an effort to spread it across.
There are signs that things are slowly changing. We really need to go back to a simpler way of life. BTW, I did your meme. Sorry I took so long.
It's too bad that when you try to keep things and give them new life, you become an anomaly. The norm is toss it out. Was it only my grandparents generation that recycled everything? How quickly we've fallen...
An excellent summing up of extravagance. Short and straight to the point
If we do have to live in such a throw-away society, at least we've got swanky garbage cans to throw all that crap into.
Abudant living not appreciated is tragic extravagance. Love the garbage bin - need some of those out this way...
i think more and more people are becoming aware of the word "abundance." we are going through a "green" period right now....let's hope the message stays and the lessons truly learned.
i have to tell you though, i love the garbage bin!
