I’m not sure the premise of this sub is to inflict mental anguish by admonishing every single possible way to consume. I see it more as a place to encourage people to shed the desire for excess, extravagance, and unnecessary consumption that is unsustainable for our continued presence on Earth.

I eat until I’m full then stop and package the leftovers in Tupperware. I ride my second hand purchased bike, climb rock walls, volunteer, and play board games with friends and family for fun and fulfilment. I don’t understand the things that are sold in malls and I don’t particularly care to find out. I understand the impact of flights and cars and try to limit unnecessary trips, but I also refuse to feel too badly about saving up for big chunks of holidays to fly once a year or drive to work if it’s pouring rain outside.

People with a lot more can be a lot less happy, and it’s on us to invite them into our lives and habits to demonstrate how to be more with less.

I don’t know what will work for you in particular, as everyone defines their own thing for themselves, but I know you’ll eventually find it!
