#reduceconsumption

Rethink your choices. Refuse single use. Reduce consumption. Reuse everything. Refurbish old stuff. Repair before you replace. Repurpose: be creative, reinvent. Recycle, last option.

Consuming TikTok

In the new internet Era, people and many diverse groups like to watch videos on various platforms, one of these platforms is known as TikTok. The internet was created to facilitate life, with research, shared information, and various other actions but, now, it’s used as a showcase of many things, as presented in the app. These actions stimulate people to buy unnecessary products, which results in more consumption and waste of natural resources. 

First of all, it can be said that overconsumption started when England and the Industrial Revolutions stimulated mass consumption, and these thoughts spread all over the world. Furthermore, with the internet and social media growth, users perpetuated consumption. They did that by overbuying online, because it is too easy to shop nowadays, just one click is necessary to get everything you want, therefore increasing consumption. 

Diverse influencers, sponsored or not, make a lot of videos buying and showing their products, encouraging their viewers to buy too. These videos, with fun music and striking titles, result in a trend for consumers to purchase products they never will use. And these consequences are the big problem, TikTok and other media are impairing the balance of society, consumption and nature.

In contrast, you must be asking “How to be a conscious consumer during the TikTok Era?” and this is a big point. It’s difficult to see people buying and not be inclined to buy as well, but ask yourself  “Do I need this product?” and “Will I use this product?” It could be the start.  

Overall, many people are becoming aware that the big problem is overconsumption and are adopting ways to consume less. One of these ways is minimalism, that’s the people living with few things. In addition, it also has the "Zero waste generation" movement, to reuse and transform different things, and many other forms to be more sustainable. Therefore, society can live and use TikTok more consciously.

Homemade Christmas Presents - 2016

The last two Christmas seasons I have opted to make / bake presents & send to family who are in other states. I want to reduce my consumption and consider the over indulgence we all tend to experience on crap that doesn’t serve us.

The taste of food can linger in your memory for a long time & I get to contribute with the essence of what I love about Christmas, sharing a meal together.  I also enjoying gifting to my small group of friends who have become my family here in Brisbane & feel lucky for the quality time. I have something to bring along when visiting, which lasts into the New Year gifting.

I never seem to make enough though. I’m working on my quantities yet the process is fun & rewarding.

Do you know what the most important 'R' of the 3 R' s for the environment is? That's right! It's Reduce! What does that mean? It means the most effective way to create a positive impact in the environment is to reduce your consumption. I'm not talking eat less, I'm talking eat smarter. Eat with intention and conscience. Buy what you need. Buy items that will last. Start small by reducing the packaging you buy and bring home. What is better than recycling if even possible? Not having to recycle or throwing anything. I bought these strawberries and cherries at a local grocery store. After they weighed the fruit I put it into my bag and gave them the cardboard paper container back, which they will reuse. You will be amazed at how many less trios you have to take to the garbage can or recycling bin. More importantly you are using less energy by not having the need for packaging to be created then recycled. Talk to your grocery stores about reducing waste. Ask them for more bulk items. Ask them to encourage reusable produce bags, containers or look for suppliers that do not use any packaging. Your voice and actions are powerful, use them. #reduce #reducewaste #reduceconsumption #the3rs #packaging #reuse #conscious #consumer #groceryshopping #environment (at West End, Vancouver)

Stop promotions of consumer goods Promotions of consumer goods and conservation of natural resources can't happen at the same time.

Supermarkets in Vietnam and India have adopted an initiative from Thailand and that makes use of banana leaves instead of plastic as a packaging alternative.

What you guys thinks about banana leaves as the alternative of plastic packaging? 💚
