14: Graham Hill- Less Stuff, More Happiness
via TED
Graham hill less stuff, more happiness worksheet from Meagan Kaiser
*Teachers- Be aware that the translation is not fabulous for this one.
In the 4th paragraph...Graham talks about downsizing being a way to reduce utility bills...and the translator mistranslates this as "the size of the furniture will be smaller."
No translation for "things that nest" or "things that stack" either.
