There is enough on earth for everybodys need, but not for everyones greed. Gandhi
"Hay suficiente en el mundo para las necesidades de todos, pero no para la codicia
de todos." Gandhi
If we only bought things we needed, there would be enough for everybody. What do
we need? What you need depends on how old you are and your way of life. Rearrange
the list of things you can buy and put the things you think we most need at the top of
the list.
Si slo nos compramos cosas que necesitaramos, no habra suficiente para todos.
Qu necesitamos? Lo que necesitas depende de la edad que tengas y tu forma de
vida. Reordena la lista de cosas que puedes comprar y pon las cosas que crees que
ms necesitamos en la parte superior de la lista.

If we dont need to buy so much, we dont need to work so much. We can take parttime jobs or reduce our working day from 8 hours to 6 hours. Some people are leaving
very well-paid jobs to live a healthier life in the countryside or a more exciting life
abroad. This is called downshifting. Parents can spend more time with their children
and the unemployed are given more opportunities to work.
Si no necesitamos comprar tanto, no necesitamos trabajar tanto. Podemos aceptar
trabajos a tiempo parcial o reducir nuestra jornada laboral de 8 horas y 6 horas.
