Living Lightly

This is the first time in history that a large social movement is not bound together by an “ism.” 

What binds it together is ideas, not ideologies. This unnamed movement’s big contribution is the 

absence of one big idea; in its stead it offers thousands of practical and useful ideas. In place of 

isms are processes, concerns, and compassion. The movement demonstrates a pliable, resonant, 

and generous side of humanity.
