Sustainable Minimalists ·

2024/07/16

Tomatoes, green beans, peaches, and so much more: Our great-grandmas knew a thing or two about food preservation, and yet these days few of us can. It's a time- and labor-intensive practice, sure.

There's Nothing Wrong With You

Sustainable Minimalists ·

2024/06/25

When we buy something, it's not necessarily about the *thing*.

In hyper-capitalistic economies, products get invented that no one needs or wants. Celebrities are revered like gods. Inequity is everywhere, and citizens internalize the idea that their worth is measured by some mysterious combination of career success and amassed material goods.Many argue that the United States has
