I think that economy sometimes come into play with these ideas. You can look at the small house movement. While the trend shows a type of person or persons who use only what they need, the general society views these people as crazy. They use less space and gather less personal belongings thus leaving less of a carbon footprint on the planet. In doing so, they are able to experience life more because their bills and obligations are less in society.
