Do you also agree that sustainability cannot be achieved with constant moral preaching? Again and again I hear that we have to practice renunciation.
Isn't it more necessary to have a positive view of sustainability? An awareness that the lifestyle we are so used to is a constant renunciation? We do without seasonal foods with real taste. We renounce time, movement and conscious actions, We renounce quality.
It starts with what seem like little things: If I can get strawberries in the supermarket all year round, I rob myself of the (anticipatory) anticipation of the berry season; if I constantly drive the shortest distances in the car, I forego movement and deceleration; if I buy a new piece of clothing every two weeks for a few euros, I'm giving up a really nice, high-quality piece.
We cannot bring about a long-term change in behavior by constantly telling ourselves and others what we are not allowed to do. Let's focus a lot more on what we can gain from sustainability! Quite apart from an entire planet, we may regain more contentment and awareness of the beautiful.
limo wardrobe not only produces high-quality women's clothing by upcycling men's shirts. limo represents an awareness of a new relationship with clothing. Awareness of the raw materials and labor that go into a garment. But also for clothing is like a second skin that we should choose carefully. |
With this in mind: Let's tell positive stories together about what we gain through sustainability, instead of the supposed sacrifice that is associated with it.
