等一下，请问“简生活”是什么？
Wait, what is LIVE WITH LESS actually？
关于社区。
关于减少盲目消费。
关于社会承载和分享经济。
简生活是Crossboundaries的建筑师们自发组织发起的一个倡导理性消费、资源共享的公益项目。它起源于身边的一个小故事：Crossboundaries的一个朋友要搬家，需要把东西都整理出来。所以她问我们能否借用办公室空间，举办一个物品交换活动，让自己不需要的东西也有好去处。令人意想不到的是，那次交换不仅让大家淘到了新宝贝，认识了新朋友，还清理出很多东西捐给了慈善机构。于是，我们把它延续至今，并不断丰富着其价值和内涵——联结社区，通过分享经济减少过度消耗。
It's about community.
It's about reducing excessive consumption.
It's about the possibility in using social capital to create a sharing economy.
LIVE WITH LESS started with a familiar story, a friend of Crossboundaries was moving home and all her stuff. The friend asked if she could use our office space to hold a take away of things she no longer needed. Before we knew it we had some new treasures, made new friends, and a van load of stuff left over. This idea instigated a conversation with The Mind Body Project around our shared values, kick starting the challenge of Live With Less to engage across communities and reduce excessive consumption through sharing economies, all in view of happier lives.
