016: Earth Day, Every Day

10 small-ish lifestyle changes to celebrate earth day, every day.

On April 22, 193 countries celebrate Earth Day.

The premise of the holiday is great, right? It’s a day dedicated to planting trees. Picking up trash. Recycling.

But there’s a big problem with Earth Day, and it’s this: It’s just one day out of 365, then it’s over.

When it comes to the state of our planet, there’s not much to celebrate; that’s why I suggest we honor Mother Nature differently. This Earth Day, let’s NOT pick up trash. Let’s stop producing it, instead.

On this episode, I’m delighted to offer 5 action steps for those just beginning their eco-minimalist journey followed by 5 advanced strategies for those looking to up their sustainability game. Pick one + join me!

Beyond the Beige

We’ve all seen the images. The stark white rooms, the single designer chair, the perfectly curated capsule wardrobe. We’re told that if we just clear the clutter, we’ll find peace. 

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.

Here’s a preview: 

[7:30] Feeling that donation high? Here’s why decluttering and donating feels so good in the moment but often fails to stop the cycle of re-accumulation

[11:30] Can authentic minimalism exist in a consumerist culture?

[16:00] Candid thoughts on how and why minimalism has been commercialized

[25:00] How to tell if your minimalism is driving more shopping or actually shrinking your ecological footprint
