eg stoppar opp min shoppeflopp
for mykje, for billeg, for dårleg, for dyrt
for miljøet, for dyrt
for vatnet, for dyrt
for lufta, for dyrt
for hender som syr det ihop
hender som knapt har råd til å ete
hender som jobbar som slavar, må vete
hender som dagar og netter må streve i veg
hender med rettar som ikkje vert gjeve dei
hender med andlet som vi ikkje kjenner
andlet som gret med ihopbitne tenner
det er ikkje verdt det
dei billege kleda
usynleg dyre menneskeskjebnar

My #underconsumptioncore girlie goal is to use up all the random hand lotion I've somehow accumulated over the years

I'm always convinced a new hand lotion will be "just the thing", the perfect one. But the ones I have are all really similar in texture, and none of them are smelly in a way that I would ditch them immediately.

If I can use up all of my lotion hoard I can reward myself by buying a new (somehow ephemerally better) lotion 🤔

This is another great idea (imho).

LENDING LIBRARIES

"Create a free community lending library to let people freely lend and exchange tools, seeds, sleds or snowshoes, books, cooking equipment, games, and more.

"Nearly every community has a traditional library, but why stop at loaning out books? Community lending libraries are helping neighbors lend and share all sorts of items, from seeds and cooking equipment to sports gear and tools. They take many shapes and forms, from the common Little Free Libraries you see on streets and in neighborhoods to more formalized libraries that lend items other than books. Just like regular libraries, lending libraries have many benefits — decreasing consumption, helping people access tools and supplies for free, and building community."

Um, what's wrong with using things that still work and wearing old clothes? I think this "trend" is a good one! More #Underconsumption, #Reuse, #Recycling, #Upcycling and #Degrowth, please!

What TikTok ‘#UnderconsumptionCore’ trend means for your money: It’s ‘romanticizing being middle class,’ content creator says

"Using only one water bottle. Finishing that tube of makeup before buying another. Owning furniture that’s been passed down through generations.

"This isn’t the lifestyle that #SocialMedia influencers promoting their Amazon storefront or their brand discount codes show. So-called 'underconsumption core,' however, is one of the latest personal finance trends to go viral on TikTok, with many videos about the topic receiving millions of views.

"On social media, the 'core' ending is often used to describe a shared aesthetic among users. Non-personal finance examples include cottage core and goblin core. #Underconsumption core showcases the old items that people are still using."

‘Underconsumption Core’

A story from Global News in Canada reports on youth flaunting repurposing on social media.

“ It’s all part of a trend that has taken social media by storm in recent months called “underconsumption core,” where users boast about how they’re continuing to make use of the things they already own and repurpose household items instead of buying new ones, all while saving money along the way.”
