What’s your goal in living minimally?
1 comments

Happiness, less emotional/politic manipulation, removal of negative media.

Shift to local-only thinking and living.

Independence.

Present in the day-day.

Breaking of bad habits.

Living deliberately

I'm ok with all the tech releated stuff, but besides those things i would add:

- reduce (if not eliminate) wild online shopping (eg. Amazon) to reduce carbon footprint/waste of packaging and not nurturing giants that do not care about employee dignity

- reduce if not eliminate meat consuption or at least buy animal related food that respect animal life and dignity.

Not fully agree with no consuming news, even though most of them are biased or worst fake i think that one can manage try to find the truth in all this chaos.

On news: I'd say read from high-quality, responsible news sources. Lots of outlets create click bait, even if the stories are true, to direct readers to their sites.
