REFLECTION QUESTIONBalancing Consumption Needs Vs. WantsHow is creativity a necessary ingredient for practicing simplicity?
Anette Abschütz 10/21/2022 12:50 AMOne has to use the Same object in multiple ways, instead of buying new stuff everytime. Or, put some new Decor on, combine differently, find on fleemarkets … so many ways to buy and own less! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBalancing Consumption Calculate My Carbon FootprintWhat is one way you will reduce your carbon impact? What is a practice you already have that helps you reduce your carbon impact?
Anette Abschütz 10/21/2022 12:47 AMI would love to use my car less, and also to fly less. The latter is not so much in my control, but I can choose to use public transport more often. I hope for the new ticket that has been announced by the Government! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONBalancing Consumption What is Sustainable Fashion?How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

REFLECTION QUESTIONCultivating Communities Stay on the GroundWhat was your process like for restructuring your trip? How can you avoid more air travel in the future?
Anette Abschütz 10/06/2022 2:09 AMIn planning my fall vacation with the kids, the choice was on Paris. Instead of flying there, we are taking the train - which is actually much more attractive from a price pov as well as from a total travel time pov. Easy choice for this one.-
Susanne Neßhöver 10/10/2022 4:05 AMI did the same, travelling inside of Germany (train against car). Still going by train in Germany is a challenge due to delays 🤪.
