So – my aim is to reduce all non-essential spending this month, because I’m aware of the climate justice issue relating to how the top 10% in the world produce over 50% of the carbon emissions.
I’ve already moved my electricity and gas to renewables, have a very old car that I try not to drive at all if I can help it. What I’m interested in is the question – can I just live more lightly in the world – what stops that and what helps it?
So – I’m trying to cut down any spending that isn’t associated with basic needs. This is going to be tricky – March is the month that all my family has their birthday – so what am I going to do if I can’t buy them stuff… how do I show love without buying things? This feels like it is something worth learning today.
Will update here when I work out what I’m doing!
Hope everyone else is going OK.
