It’s simple. We are using too much stuff…



OCTOBER 11, 2018

The good news is, the alternative to wasteful consuming is better for us, our mental health and the health of our planet.

This month is a chance to cut out the clutter.

To refuse, reduce, reuse, rethink.

Easiest way to do it is to keep out of the shops and avoid advertising and stuff that exists to convince you you need stuff that you don’t.

Have fun – not post-purchase-dissonance (that nasty state of unease which exists after we buy something we know we don’t need…)

It also makes very practical sense, with this piece from last week's Independent:
Young people should get into the habit of saving now, because who knows what the future welfare state will look like | The Independent
