Lately, I've been reading a few critics on minimalism. The one that I found most outstandingly ludicrous was: How has this 'trend' lasted so long? To answer rhetorically: how can the ultimate anti-trend last so long? Thinking trend-wise is so last century and if you think the planet can afford trends, you are simply oblivious of the damage your mentality is causing. I've also read about minimalism's parallel anti-capitalist trend: Solar Punk Fashion. Good luck seeing that aesthetic in 4-5 years and how well it ages becoming just one more unnecessary trend. However, I think the mistake is thinking in black-and-white, since “fixing shit around your house, thrifting, patching clothes and handing them down" is not incompatible with minimalism as a philosophy. After all, one must remember that the minimal aesthetics and the philosophy are separable. You can wear red, have your whole decor in sequins, but if you keep the essentials, you are, nevertheless, a minimalist. Minimalism is simply the heart of what you need and love with all of your heart, no more no less, regardless of what your aesthetic is.

Oh no, but let's talk about the aesthetics, because that's what the real problem is, especially for younger people who are sick of seeing it or who claim it's a style that belongs to upper/upper middle classes:

I come from a Third World country and like many other people who come from poorer countries/social classes I was forced to be a minimalist since I can remember. For instance, I had to choose in my lifetime ONE blazer, not patched, not sequined, not multi-coloured, but with a clean-lined and neutral-coloured silhouette that could be suitable for any event, being it a conference, a party, a business attire (good luck with the patches there!) or even an everyday look. It's a piece that can be mixed-and-matched with literally everything, which I can't (unfortunately) say from 'fixed and patched shit', which I might get bored of or throw away in a determined period of time. Do you understand what I am saying? Do you want to be a real rebel? Think about it. Rebels don't always endorse spikes and patches, especially if the latter are prone to be (not timeless = unsustainable) trends.

Residences account for about 20% of carbon pollution in the United States. We need to reduce residential pollution to stop climate change.

Energy use is the biggest contributor to carbon pollution. For a typical American household, heating/cooling and vehicle fuel make up 2/3 of your carbon footprint.

A typical home wastes up to 40% of the energy it consumes through lighting, heating and cooling unused rooms, poor insulation, or wasteful habits.

Almost anything you do to reduce your home carbon pollution will save you money. You can save up to half your utility bills.

Healthier diets make for healthier people and a healthier planet. If every American cut their meat consumption by half, we could cut agricultural carbon pollution.

You can multiply your impact by setting a good example and talking about why you are making different choices. Your neighbors are concerned about climate change too.

Sharing your commitment can help others save and live healthier lives. Engage with others to help them save money, save energy, and live healthier lives too.

BUT magic techno-fixes have to be thoroughly tested by people who have no relationship to the developer. Cloud-seeding is not OK.

It’s solar and wind and tidal and geothermal and hydropower.

It’s plant-based diets and regenerative livestock farming and insect protein and lab-grown meat.

It’s electric cars and reliable public transit and decreasing how far and how often we travel.

It’s growing your own vegetables and community gardens and vertical farms and supporting local producers.

It’s rewilding the countryside and greening cities.

It’s getting people active and improving disabled access.

It’s making your own clothes and buying or swapping sustainable stuff with your neighbours.

It’s the right to repair and reducing consumption in the first place.

It’s greater land rights for the commons and indigenous peoples and creating protected areas.

It’s radical, drastic change and community consensus.

It’s labour rights and less work.

It’s science and arts.

It’s theoretical academic thought and concrete practical action.

It’s signing petitions and campaigning and protesting and civil disobedience.

It’s sailboats and zeppelins.

It’s the speculative and the possible.

It’s raising living standards and curbing consumerism.

It’s global and local.

It’s me and you.

Climate solutions look different for everyone, and we all have something to offer.

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

We know how to do it. We know what it needs to fight climate change and global warming. People in charge are just afraid and don't push these projects further.

the extent that i would be at emo night at sneaky dees every single weekend is crazy. you would think i was canadian.
