I once took a fire alarm off my apartment ceiling and tried to flush it down my toilet. In my CLEARLY infinite wisdom of youth. Needless to say it did not go as planned. At least i had a large bucket and plastic bags.
You know those round white ones? I thought it was smaller than it actually was. It did NOT fit down my porcelain pipe. It was a interesting experience though. Between living without electricity for a week last year because of a cancelled provider contract and temporarilly BIG BRAIN TIME-ing my toilet, i'd like to say that even if i very much enjoy the relative comfort that i live in, i think i could deal with less than what i have right now, and i don't have much to begin with.
And yes, i was able to fix my toilet. Just took multiple attempts. shudder Youth is a dangerous thing! But i'm glad i moved out very early!
The only thing i can REMOTELY agree with is "Own less". Not nothing. But less. Scale back on materialism. But not globally enforced. Let those who want to live the materialist dream do so, let those who want to live simpler lives do so...Choices, options, NOT coercion and lockstep is what i want, what we need. But i am preaching to the choir here.
And i will have you know that i've been pooping very well ever since my little adventure years ago. VERY well. And i have become VERY wary of what i put in my toilet. I have a garbage bin and bags for a reason.
Anecdotal, but i stopped using toipaper a while ago. Water truly IS the best way to clean yourself.

Its a learning experience on someone elses property. The best kind! Youth is wasted on the young as they say.
We can live with less. Thats their plan for us. Own nothing and like it.
