Sust-brain-ability

Some of you will have come across the US not for profit ‘re-make’ - helping educate about the costs of fast fashion.

Their recent guide on ‘your brain and sustainability: rewire your thoughts’ is worth sharing, giving us 5 steps to shift from our autopilot for convenience.

They suggest we might

• pause before purchase

• reframe identity “I am someone who…’

• practice gratitude for what you own

• swap novelty for curiosity

• micro-experiments with limits

as ways of helping shift to more sustainable buying habits.

Take a look at their guide and be inspired to share it with friends and family.

Sharing and talking about how we can all shift our habits is all the more important in the light of the UN assessment that we cannot now achieve 1.5 degrees C. If you are not quite sure what this 1.5 degrees is all about, you might find this web page helpful.
