Oprah Winfrey's Thursday June 12, 2009 show was on the subject of "What can you live without?" After watching several of these what can you live without shows I'm beginning to look at my own life differently. I've decluttered my house, I'm wasting less food, and I'm recycling more.
Oprah's "what can you live without challenges" are interesting to watch. It's almost unbelievable how addicted the average family's kids are to cell phones, TV, video games, and the Internet. It makes you stop and think about how much time you spend together as a family doing something other than watching TV.
As well doing shows on the topic of "living with less" and "frugal living" Oprah has also been focusing on topics that affect the environment. Oprah's "Earth Day" show was especially eye opening and taught viewers about the hazard of using plastic bags when she showed her audience the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch."
Oprah is not only trying to convince families that they can live well with less she is also making her own changes to help the environment as well.
