...after a certain point, material objects have a tendency to crowd out the emotional needs they are meant to support.

When I notice a rear wheel overtaking me, I know I'm sitting in a Lotus.

I bet most of us have experienced at some point the joys of less: college - in your dorm, traveling - in a hotel room, camping - rig up basically nothing, maybe a boat. Whatever it was for you, I bet that, among other things, this gave you a little more freedom, a little more time.

Time is of the essence and I don't have much essence left.

You should be allowed to be a modern city dweller and still care about the environment.

One of the easiest ways to go green is to go small. I want to show people that there's an amazing modern green future, and make it easy for them to step into it.

My space is small. My life is big.

Could I do with a little life editing? Would that give me a little more freedom? Maybe a little more time?

Time is of the essence - and I'm very short of essence.
