056: Why You Should Use the Fine China on a Wednesday

056: Why You Should Use the Fine China on a Wednesday

On this week's episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss how to show the most important people in our lives that they are, in fact, the most important.

If I asked you what’s most important in life, I’m willing to bet you wouldn’t hesitate.

Family, of course!

But are you in the habit of regularly showing them that they are, in fact, your VIPs?

It happens more than we’d like to admit. Even though we’re conscious that our families are our Number Ones – and even though we know we should be prioritizing them over the dishes, the vacuuming + whatever else – it’s often really hard to do so in practice.

It’s sad but true: Sometimes we’re our worst selves around the people we love most.

This week, Ashley Logsdon motivates us to prioritize our time so that our families always come out on top. 

Enjoy!

The "Away" Illusion

Ever wonder where your bags of donated clothes actually end up?

Most of us treat dropping off a bag at a donation bin like a magic trick. We hand it over, walk away, and assume it finds a good home.

But very often, away is Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, where 15 million secondhand garments arrive every single week.

On today’s show, contemporary artist Emmanuel “DoTT” Kunfaa pulls back the curtain on the dark side of donating and highlights they ways in which the illusion of charity is feeding waste colonialism.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:30] What really happens to your donated clothes once they leave your hands

[11:00] Kantamanto used to be a success story in circularity. What changed? (Hint: fast fashion.)

[15:00] Musings on expensive handbags. What purpose do they actually serve?

[22:00] Five things we can all do better when it comes to buying and donating clothes
