The saying is “reduce, reuse, recycle” for a reason. It’s in order of impact, with recycling being low impact and reactive and reducing being high impact and proactive.
56As if I had enough money for a second sustainable outfit
The prices on this things I swear :,(
32That’s why thrift stores exist. Nothing more sustainable than buying used.
29And the stuff there is generally good quality, since it has been used and not fallen apart for being cheap shit.
I've exclusively bought clothes, furniture, kitchenware etc. second hand for about 10 years now and everything has been cheaper and so much nicer and better quality than anything I could buy new.

I agree with that statement, but I also don’t know how to define where the line is where consumption turns into overconsumption. Any ideas?
23People buying every shoe color in order to match all the time? I don't mean like 3-6 pairs.
23Wait people need more than 6 pairs???
I'm god damn shoe obsessed and I don't have that many. I got:
-Sports shoes
-Work shoes (thick, leather, sturdy)
-Fancy boots (black)
-Fancy boots (white)
The only boots I ever got purely to match was the two pairs of black and white fancy boots. Which is more than enough to be complimentary to any wardrobe depending on if I use brighter or darker colors. What more could you need? Two pairs of sports shoes? Two pairs of work shoes if you wanna be extra? But even that only brings you up to 6 and I can't fathom needing more.
Like I consider myself a shoe obsessed woman. I pride myself in my silly little stompers yet I can't imagine owning more then 6 at a time. Unless you count during my lifetime because yeah boots got replaced as old ones wore out. I needed to replace the white ones as they literally fell apart, went through several rounds of work and sports shoes too.

Unfortunately, people being cunts, this is very open to corruption by pretty power hungry authoritarians. But probably the only viable solution.

Not being able to afford over consumption at sustainable prices is half the point, right?
