Many people in marginalized communities are benefiting from being more conscious consumers, writes activist and author Christine Platt. 'And these benefits go beyond having a tidy home.' (via latimesopinion)
Being less wasteful is a choice that has immediate and lasting impact. Another benefit of minimalism is learning to live with intention. The practice of being intentional about what you keep in your home teaches you to be intentional about every area of your life.
It’s been six years since that fateful Saturday when I decided to live with less, and I have no regrets. In addition to downsizing, I’ve learned to help others take control of their consumption. The goal isn’t just to become a minimalist; it’s to become a more conscious consumer. Living with less is an opportunity to discover value in who we are, not in what we have.
Christine Platt is an activist and author, most recently, of “The Afrominimalist’s Guide to Living With Less.”
