I myself rarely buy new clothing or furniture and thrift almost everything. But it’s easy living in a city with a lot of second hand/vintage/thrift shops. I can’t remember the last time that I bought any new clothes or something. And a lot of stores here have good quality name brand stuff like Levi’s, Fjällräven, Wrangler etc so even though it’s not new, it will last a lot of years still.

I also try to keep extra waste at a minimum. Soap bars, safety razor, shaving bar etc all allowed me to reduce my (mostly plastic) waste.

I don’t eat meat and try not to buy too much packaged food (if possible).

I live in a big city so I rarely use a car. I walk/bike/public transport almost everywhere.

How about you?

    Never!

    That’s awesome lmao. 400 miles a week? That’s like a little more than a full tank of gas… so what, $120 USD?

      Yeah it was rough. Basically filling up the tank on my little Ford Focus every 4 - 5 days. So usually at least 5 tanks of gas a month. Luckily I got the remote work job before gas prices went through the roof.
