Count Down

Action 21: Embrace minimalism. Favour frugalism.  

Consuming less is one clear way of reducing our carbon footprint. Consuming less is not about being parsimonious nor being a kill joy. 

Consuming less can involve buying second or hand – pre-loved items. It is equally about ‘loving’ what we do have. Why not look through your wardrobe or your cupboard and pick out a favourite item that you have had for a long while, and appreciate its personal history.
