I've taken my list and made two categories. One is a NEEDS vs WANTS list and the other is a THINGS OF NATURE vs MANMADE PRODUCTS list.
Now it so happens that the day I chose to make my 24 hour list was a rather relaxed day to the usual busy days I have. I noticed that on my first list that my needs are higher then my wants. I consider myself a particular person and saw that my list wasn't too crazy in terms of things that I just want.
But the second list shows that I am dependent on a lot of man made things for every day life. I've added a few explanations to the wants in my first list since I realized that I could actually do without them in my day to day life.
In my second list, I've marked food as a Thing of Nature, however after thinking about it, that food has actually been gathered, prepared and delivered by humans rather then myself growing it and gathering it for myself to prepare for my personal consumption.
24 Hours of using stuff.....
