Minimalism is taking hold in modern culture and consumers are ???. Those who embrace the minimalist lifestyle embrace a life with fewer possessions and less complexity and clutter. They also produce less waste. USB rechargeable batteries can support this lifestyle. Impact conscious consumers can get better power performance compared to single use use batteries while simultaneously reducing the volume of dead batteries you send to the waste stream.
We get that minimalism isn't totally feasible for everybody. It takes a certain kind of personality to live comfortably at minimum means. But for those who choose the lifestyle, or make sincere steps toward it, it can provide a lot of benefits. We are behind it 100%. Anything that reduces waste and makes it easier to take care of the planet is good.
If you are tempted to believe that minimalism is a new movement brought out by the 2008 housing crash and Great Recession, think again. The term itself may have only recently been applied to simple living, but the concept is as old as humanity.
There has always been a clear delineation between those who have and those who have not. Likewise, there have always been people who have chosen to live with less. Many ancient religions associate virtue with simple living; many political systems have forced simple living on people over the centuries.
What makes modern minimalism so much different is the extent to which those who choose to live by the consumerism philosophy can overwhelm themselves with things. We have a lot more stuff available to us in the 21st century, thanks to innovation and the steady progress that humanity makes year by year. To purposely live a minimalist lifestyle these days, you really need to pass up a lot more.
