Next Steps: Living Minimally and Sustainably

Speaking Up

Minimalism isn't a political statement. From a personal standpoint I gravitate towards remaining neutrally apolitical. Unfortunately no political party effectively represents centrist minimalistic values.

Trying to remain as non polarized as possible is becoming increasingly difficult. This is especially true as social algorithms tend to recommend and feed content that aligns with a user's following/follower graph connections. Overall it makes sense for a minimalist to become an advocate for policies that make living a minimal lifestyle easier. The difficulty is in finding a political figure that actually represents minimalism and is willing to express concern with our wasteful tendencies. But when you see something wasteful, speak up. A minimalist needs to speak up to present sustainable values when there is a need to shift a practice.
