Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living

110: Is Overconsumption That Big of a Deal?


Listen Later

This week's "guest" episode is slightly different...because I'm the guest!


My good friends at the Pretty Furious podcast are graciously letting me air an episode when I was a guest on their podcast, because I just loved the questions they asked and don't think I've covered the consequences of overconsumption to this extent on Paring Down.


What, exactly, happens to non-biodegradable materials in landfills?

Why should you care, even if you don't particularly care about the health of the planet?

What role does overconsumption play in our mental health?


We dive into all of it!
