Day +1197

I work at the School of Education at Bristol. I'm interested in futures, how we make better ones, how we value what we have in the world now. I'm a poor guitar player, better cello player, lazy gardener and lover of sweet things...
My challenge
My cChallenge is to reduce all unnecessary consumption

Have hit a problem – my front door was in a mess and needing sanding down and repainting, I managed to get all the sanding and the undercoat and things from old stuff in the cellar, but when I went to find a new gloss for the door I didn’t have any I could use lying around.

I went to the SOFA project on GLos road where they have a lot of leftover paint and tried there – but I cracked and bought myself the paint in a colour I really wanted as I figured I have to live with it everyday for years and years. As a small justification to allow me to do this, I returned a cracked vase that I’d bought last month to the shop… not sure this helps, but there you go.

The picture is the interesting collection of spare paint int he SOFA shop – really useful for outdoors paint and small rooms in particular.

    Hi Keri, Leonie here. Day 30! Congratulations! How has your challenge been going lately? Have you managed to keep reducing your consumption? It would be wonderful if you could give us a little update now at the end of the 30 days. What did you learn about yourself? About change? It doesn't have to be long and it doesn't have to be perfect. I can post the text for you on the platform if you are having access problems. Just email what you want to post. I really want to acknowledge your commitment to exploring new and different ways to think about consumption over the last 30 days. It was so interesting reading your posts and reflecting on trade-offs, conscious buying, and cultural expectations. Hope to see you at the wrap up on Friday. Warm wishes, Leonie Respond
