039: Finding Time for your ‘Why’

039: Finding Time for your ‘Why’

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss purposeful living by identifying 5 areas in which we can all cut back.

“I was tired. Often I felt like I was barely getting by. I kept thinking to myself, ‘Why am I spending my precious time + remaining energy doing things that don’t add value to my life?”

For most of us, life is busy. Too busy, in fact, to do the things we love with the people who matter most. 

This week, we’re adding by subtracting. We identify 5 specific time-suckers in modern life, then we outline strategies to mindfully let go of anything + everything keeping us from living our values.

On this week’s episode I’m thrilled to chat with a veteran guest of this show, Laura Durenberger. Laura’s an intentional mom + blographer who comes armed to our discussion with 5 incremental tweaks we can *all* make to live with purpose. 

Enjoy!

The Shopping Conspiracy

Women have been targeted for decades with the message that shopping is recreation. It’s a way to relax and unwind, sure, but recreational shopping also contributes to the climate crisis, supports the worst of shareholder capitalism, and creates an awful lot of unnecessary waste.

Enter Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, a hard-hitting new Netflix documentary that forces viewers to look at our waste-related woes. On today’s show producer Flora Bagenal offers a behind-the-scenes look at the documentary’s creation; she also answers your pressing, post-viewing questions.

Here’s a preview:

[16:30] Adidas, Amazon, Unilever, and Apple: Here's why the film featured former employees-turned-whistleblowers

[26:00] Corporate execs must show growth, and corporations are on a treadmill of extracting more and more $$ by pushing unnecessary and redundant products. Is not buying an effective act of resistance?

[30:00] Mindset shifts! Quality is a climate issue, and once you press ‘Buy Now’ you become responsible for the item’s end of life
