living with less

Posted on February 8, 2009 | Filed Under general 

The Iowa State University Extension is offering a workshop in our area entitled “Living with Less,” giving folks advice on coping with the current economic downturn.

I think we needed workshops about ten years ago on “Living with More!” Perhaps if we had, if we had better learned how to use the good times to benefit our communities at large instead of “everybody for him/herself” … we might not be in the situation we are now.
