Which is a load of fucking shit. I am a real minimalist. It has nothing to do with being happy. It has everything to do with ensuring that the planet survives and we are able to turn around climate change.

I am absolutely and uttelry not privileged. My full pension payment is 92 quid and another $106 from the States. That's it. I earn the rest by writing, and nowhere does it give me the ability to live well.

I have about 5 suitcases of my possessions. That's it. I have been a minimalist - the real type - for at least 15 years. I have been an environmentalist since 1970.
