MAXIMS

The most environmentally friendly product is the product that’s left on the shelf.

“It’s what we’ve always done” is a terrible reason to hold on.

The land of Too Much is inhospitable.

The solution is the problem.

If minimalism gets in the way of your artistry, declutter the minimalism, not the creativity.

You can’t consume your way out of misery, but you can create your way into joy.

The opposite of retail therapy is fearless generosity.

Consumption is not the problem; consumerism is the problem.
