Thrive With Less

I am getting ready for a big move across country to start graduate school and came across this video on universities website. Some kind of student film project I am guessing but it was prominently displayed along with some other films about leading a happy student life and getting involved on campus. The whole thing is 1 hour but you can get the main ideas from the first 3 minutes.

The students challenge themselves to live with less and to thrive while doing it. Some of the criteria of the challenge are only wearing one pair of pants and four shirts, not using social media, and not to drive their cars for trips under 2 miles.

Just two miles? Seems real easy to me but then again I have yet to live in Michigan in the winter.... Is not driving for trips under 2 miles really on par with the near deprivation of living life with a single pair of pants? What are your thoughts?
