¿ Practical Tips to Start Living as A Sustainable Minimalist ¿ As you may already know, it is very common for people to attach much more importance to material things than they should. Minimalism helps us make room for the truly important things in life: our passions, what drives us, our family, our health, etc. But, it also helps us be more conscious of the environment as minimalism and sustainability go hand-in-hand. Living a minimalist lifestyle often brings us very close to also living a sustainable lifestyle. Let's look at how we can take that extra step to protect our planet. A SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE is not only easy to achieve but if done right it can be a really rewarding experience. In this book you'll find some easy tips to lead a more sustainable lifestyle.

We move into a new home... and use the occasion to replace our existing bedroom set with a new one. In each circumstance, the reality is that we already owned enough shoes and our end tables and bedroom furniture worked just fine before. But because something new had been introduced into our lives, we were immediately drawn into a process of spiraling consumption. This is only one chapter that you'll find in this book.
