"To be sustainable, do I need to stop shopping altogether?" The importance of nuance in the age of all-or-none thinking.


Listen Later

In today’s catchup, we ponder whether stopping shopping altogether is necessary for sustainability and chat about our constant craving for new things. We get into the importance of avoiding black-and-white thinking and share some tips like making space, asking why, and setting boundaries when shopping. We also chat about the challenges slow fashion content creators face and have a quick vent sesh about the dangers of oversimplified views on social media. Ultimately, this episode is about choosing curiosity over quick judgments.
