Sustainable Gifts for Everyone On Your List

As consumers, it's our responsibility to support brands that make ethical and sustainable practices the centerpieces of their missions. Still, it can be difficult to find eco friendly gifts for our loved ones in advance of the holidays. On this episode of The Sustainable Minimalists podcast: The 2020 Green Gift Guide, which highlights more than a dozen of the best ethical and eco-friendly gift ideas on the market. Happy holidays!

Sustainable gifts for everyone on your list

They’re nearly here: The holidays. As consumers, we have a collective responsibility to support companies that have ethical and eco-friendly practices at the center of their missions. Still, greenwashing runs rampant, and it can be difficult (if not downright impossible!) to discern sustainable gifts from no-so-sustainable ones as we give to loved ones.

::Enter the 2020 Green Gift Guide!::

My hope is that this year’s Green Guide provides you with the motivation to support companies committed to doing things right. I also hope the Guide gives you some gift ideas to put on your own holiday list so that you receive fewer trinkets and more items you will love on for the long haul.

Happy listening!

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
