Post-consumerism

Post-consumerism is a movement that encourages people to think and act in ways that promote sustainability, reduce waste, and protect our environment. It is all about being mindful of the consumption of material goods, and instead of buying something new, look for ways to reuse, repair, and/or recycle items you already have. Post-consumerism helps us save money and resources while reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.
