The other thing is that this "minimalism" doesn't seem to have reduced his consumption at all. He owns less physical stuff but he still owns music and books. Indeed given that he has no home and therefore no kitchen it's likely that he eats out more and is more dependent on other services and spends considerably more in some areas than he would otherwise. He's not as culturally interesting as Mark Boyle for instance: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/green-living-blog/2009/oct/28/live-without-money http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/green-living-blog/2009....
