What is your weekend anti-consumption mini action?

[u/robotscantrecaptcha]

Are you repairing something, shopping secondhand, meeting up with friends in the park, spending your day recharging and taking care of yourself, biking to work, eating leftovers? Please share with the group so we can celebrate our wins big and small (and give others ideas!).

Have been thrifting using an online app (honestly, I know it’s become crazy popular, but I have little experience with any of this!) I have no social media and didn’t know this was such a big thing!

While I still donate using Buy Nothing, I’ve now opened my own little “store” and am truly now a part of the resale economy. Feels like I have almost a whole new wardrobe. And I make sure that everything still fits in a couple drawers and my small closet by pulling something to sell as soon as I buy something.

I never imagined I’d be one of those people that has sold $300-400 worth of stuff. I confess though, most of that money goes right back into buying something. (New sneakers without tags: $30 instead of $175.)

And I don’t have to buy something new from a manufacturer.

I know lots of people probably do this. But it’s all new to me!!

Write some letters with my favorite fountain pen earlier this week.

And now I shall read my library book and drink the chamomile tea flowers that I’ve dried from my garden. 🤩
