Do you want to become a more responsible consumer, but don't know where to start? We have drawn up a plan of action. One day - one task that will help you comprehend the relationship with things in the new world of conscious consumption. You can do them gradually or all at once - in any case, the result will please you!
Make a list of really necessary purchases for six months.
To quote Vivienne Westwood, the motto of mindful consumption is: “Buy less. Choose better." A scrupulously compiled shopping list not only systematizes the wardrobe but also protects against spontaneous purchases. Do you know that you are going to the mountains for the May holidays, but do not have a hiking backpack? Add it to the list. Time to update your coat for spring? Same. Want to find comfortable shoes that will last for many years? We bring. Be meticulous: Take the time to find examples on Pinterest, for example, and think through everything down to accessories and jewelry so you won't be tempted to buy another hat or earrings.
Clear out your wardrobe. First, move not by zones, but by category: that is, instead of randomly sorting through the entire wardrobe, first deal with only outerwear, then only with shoes, only with suits, and so on. Second, feel free to say goodbye to things: if you have not worn a thing in good condition for more than a year, then you are unlikely to wear it again. Unnecessary clothes and shoes can be resold, recycled, or donated to those in need.
Unfollow the stores on social networks.
This advice will be given to you not only by adherents of responsible consumption but also by experts in financial literacy. Accounts of brands and stores, of course, are infinitely beautiful, but they encroach on our attention, time, and wallet, and most often their task comes down to one thing - to make us buy things that are not always necessary.
