“I pledge to discover how much is enough for me to be truly fulfilled, neither rich nor poor, and to consume only that.
I pledge to be part of the discovery of how much would be enough for everyone–not only to survive but to thrive–and to find ways for them to have access to that.
Though this commitment to restraint and justice, I am living the teachings of Jesus, healing my life and am part of the healing of the world.”
Evy McDonald in Simpler Living, Compassionate Life: A Christian Perspective ed. Michael Schut (New York: Morehouse, 2008) 66.
