live simply  


Wish you could live more simply? Tired of a world of consumerism and hype?

Then join the livesimply project and get ready for change! 

What's it all about?

Economic growth that tramples on the rights of the poor is not progress.  The accumulation of riches at the expense of people and the environment is not true wealth.

We can choose to live in a way that puts us back in touch with what really matters.

We can help create a world where human dignity is respected and people in developing countries have the chance to live their lives to the full.

God calls us to live simply, sustainably and in solidarity with people who are poor.
