Alternatives 50th Year!
Yes, Alternatives started in 1973. Then it became Alternatives for Simple Living, and most recently Simple Living Works! It began as a protest against the commercialization of Christmas with the annual “Whose Birthday Is It, Anyway?” Then we expanded to promotion of year-round Simple Living. Now we publish all online, focusing on OverConsumption and OverPopulation as the two primary drivers of the Climate Crisis.
We have worked for years with colleague organization Jubilee Economics Ministries (JEM – OneEarthJubilee.com), most notably with our OneEarth Simple Living Podcast (listen at http://simpleliving.startlogic.com/TCGP.html ), now cross promoting blogs and other publications. So, occasionally you may receive a newsletter from JEM. It’s well worth reading.
You have free access to many articles and illustrations for personal inspiration and congregational growth at https://simpleliving.startlogic.com/indexoth.php?place=archivesThemes.php. Create your own resources for voluntary simplicity on paper, online and/or audio.

Alternatives 50th Year!
Yes, Alternatives started in 1973. Then it became Alternatives for Simple Living, and most recently Simple Living Works! It began as a protest against the commercialization of Christmas with the annual “Whose Birthday Is It, Anyway?” Then we expanded to promotion of year-round Simple Living. Now we publish all online, focusing on OverConsumption and OverPopulation as the two primary drivers of the Climate Crisis.
We have worked for years with colleague organization Jubilee Economics Ministries (JEM – OneEarthJubilee.org), most notably with our OneEarth Simple Living Podcast. Now we are forming an email co-op, sharing our lists and cross promoting our blogs and other publications. So, occasionally you may receive a newsletter from JEM. It’s well worth reading.
