Welcome to
The Florida Compact
We are Compacters from all over Florida committed to a 12-month flight from the consumer grid (calendar year 2007), an idea that was born from the original group in San Francisco.
See http://sfcompact.blogspot.com/
The Compact has several aims (more or less prioritized below):
To go beyond recycling in trying to counteract the negative global environmental and socioeconomic impacts of disposable consumer culture and to support local businesses, farms, etc. -- a step that, we hope, inherits the revolutionary impulse of the Mayflower Compact. To reduce clutter and waste in our homes (as in trash Compact-er). To simplify our lives (as in Calm-pact)
We've agreed to follow two principles (see exceptions etc. on The Compact's blog).
#1 Don't buy new products of any kind (from stores, web sites, etc.)
#2 Borrow, barter, or buy used.
