- Watched "cowspiracy" ~2 yrs ago and other documentaries (like "seaspiracy" ~ 1 week ago) to question my food consumption. 4h invest

- basically turned vegetarian (like 99,99%) in 2014

- joined avaaz.org to sign petitions. 30 mins per month invest

- I'm a minimalist and avoid buying new stuff, avoid buying furniture altogether

- Use the bike to get to work

- did a sticker campaign in 2014 to raise awareness about our lives and the planet (I firmly believe that awareness is a key factor to sustainability)

Minimalism is the other one I'm looking at, for past decade or so. Not as far along as I'd like yet in terms of stuff, but consumption is way down. Clothes, equipment, etc. Making things work for longer, DIY repairs, primarily buying used goods.

But the system is totally geared against all this. If someone or a group could reverse even parts of consumer culture it'd be a potentially huge win for the planet. And for people's sanity.

I agree that long-living products would be better for resource efficiency.

Which part of consumer culture would you like to change if you had a magic wand? e.g. which action or believe would you like to change?

My shot is that people would prefer subscriptions of long-living products because companies need some kind of cashflow but also an incentive for optimising efficiency.

Very interesting, thank you! I also agree that awareness is a massive one!

When I hear sticker campaign I immediately think of all the stickers that are put somewhere where they are maybe tolerated but most likely not asked for. Often being not allowed.

Not doing any implicit accusations but I am wondering if you found a way that was legal? Or if you have ideas for "accepted" ways to raise awareness?
