Individual Declaration of Independence

This "Draft Manifesto" (or something like it) was doing the rounds a few years ago (it's not bad):-

1) Avoid eating anything that comes in a packet.
2) Avoid buying anything that comes in a box.
3) Avoid owning anything that uses "disposable" batteries.
4) Avoid using a car (...walk, bike, or take a bus!).
5) Avoid flying. Jet aircraft are extremely polluting in every sense.
6) Grow your own vegetables, or better still, learn how to farm!
7) Avoid money transactions - use barter! Support the "alternative economy".
8) Refuse to become a victim (...by living life on your own terms).
9) Avoid having a bank account or "credit" cards.
10) Avoid taxation.
11) "Work" as little as possible, as much as necessary.
