The Link Between Sustainability and Minimalism

Minimalism is a concept that helps people question what materials and activities add value to their lives. Everyone has a different style of minimalism; a 20-year-old single guy’s minimalist lifestyle is different than a 40-year-old mothers’, for example. People can live minimalism differently, but each path will lead to the same thing: a life with more money, more time, less clutter, and more meaning. 

The mental and financial burden of consumption in our daily lives is large. It is very hard to go on about your day without comparing your material possessions to those of everyone else.

Conscious consumerism is the common denominator between minimalism and sustainability. The reason is that while sustainability aims for lower overall consumption, minimalism focuses on reducing clutter. Both have the same goal of reducing consumption of goods. It fits with sustainability because consumers are interested in how the things they buy impact the environment and because minimalists aim to avoid consuming unnecessary things.

Adopting lifestyles like minimalism and sustainability will give us positive change and will help combat climate change.
