I love this. I work at a university and seeing a lab that has such an important mission and doesn't have to deal with university bureaucracy is wonderful to see

Thank you so much for sharing!! Im learning so much from you and excited to see what else you share with us ❤️

Boo hoo.

We love under consumption core 🍄 !!!!

Omg love this series so much! 🥹🤎

I belive the undercunsomption and the deinfluancing is trending because most everyone is broke and that when 3/4ths of them manage to get on their feet again financially, they will go right back to hauls and reviewing on the next big thing. Also, Ive got a problem with this being under consumption lik ok, so you have one water bottle, two coats and drive a used car. Thats not under, for the vast majority of us, its just NORMAL.

BS

Estoy de acuerdo, hay que llevarlo al ámbito politico y trabajar por la justicia social para que sea algo con verdadero impacto hacia el cambio

This is amazing friend!

I feel so inspired to hear their stories of perseverance.

This episode is so insightful!!!

Pop off Issa !!

Omg this is amazing

This video very interesting, thanks 👏🍃🌱🌿💚🍀💦

A really inspiring and empowering video. Thank you. There were some really moving moments. I liked the discussion of loss and loss of traditional culture. My mind made links between asylums, institutions of 'correction', labour camps, work houses, and plantations, and I remembered the plantation system in Ireland. There are all these sad links, with those Europeans in the ruling classes experimenting on the disabled and disenfranchised, and those of the wrong religion (and I remember that the first enslaved people on Sao Tome were convicts and Jewish people), then exporting these experiments wholesale to whole continents. It's a sad, sad story. But your video felt empowering as well as linking to these terrifying sadnesses. Power to you! (Andrew Cheffings, Interfaith Choirs)

Amazing video, thanks for putting this out! And thank you for all your research

My only worry with solarpunk is that the aesthetic part will be co-opted by the rich and used as a form of urban greenwashing instead of investing in things that would benefit the lower class and that would be more efficient in reducing carbon emissions. For example, one of the staples of solarpunk aesthetic is vertical forest which is already being proposed in richer cities AND is already criticized by urbanists since it would be much more demanding ressource wise, more dangerous, and much less efficient than simply reducing street lanes to plant more trees, building wildlife crossings, turning parking lots into biodiverse parks as well as focussing on more accessible and more efficient public transport and building a decent bicycle network. I genuinely think that the only way for this to work properly is to make sure that the solutions offered by solarpunk are practical, science based, and owned by communities (like you proposed for renewable energies)

Thank you so much for a great clip! I found you on insta also, will follow you there as well 🎉

Here's a thought: someone who is good and quick at sewing could make the community's clothes and trade that valuable labor with their neighbors who raise chickens that lay eggs or who fix washing machines or produce cars. Welcome to capitalism! 😛

omg yes 🙌🏻🥰 🌳

Baby steps!

This is so strange.... I am all for romanticizing everyday life but stuff like this??? Is just Normal Behavior??? I mean yeah! "Consume Normally core" if thats what it takes to get people interested in stuff and stop the trend of buying stuff. I think anything that doesnt glamorize buying stuff should stay popular for as long as we can try and get the great Algo to humor the sensible people .... Low key this is just "Tell everyone else around you that u grew up rish"

I agree that while this trend is definitely not enough, it can most certainly be a start for people who didn’t even care at all, to maybe start caring even a little bit . That’s my hope at least !

Do you just look for things to whine about? Are you naturally a very nitpicky person? Despite your little gripes, the underconsumption core still does more good than harm. Nothing is perfect

Black and brown people aren’t the only poor people and saying that made you sound like you think *all* black and brown people are poor, and *all* white people are upper middle class or above. Just sayin’.

I hate to be that guy but my gaydar is going off

How about stop grooming children

who got temu elon yapping about underconsumption 😭

Ok

I'm really happy to see the rise in non-consumerism. Hand made and vintage things are the best. I'm going to start looking into the app Buy Nothing because it supports people locally and most of us are not wealthy enough to keep this toxic economic hamster wheel going. This really needs to be more than a fad.

I hope more people see this video, it's the best and most complete analysis/critique I've seen so far. A focus on deeper levels of understanding is what will break the cycle!

I like under consumption but people need to throw out expired products. Keeping old expired makeup is not safe. I think the direction should be less is more like do you need 10+ products of the same thing like body wash. No.

So we are really kissing dinosaurs

I'm so glad I found your UA-cam channel. I've followed you on instagram for a long time, but barely use it now so didn't know you did youtube too!

It’s not a trend, (according to me and my friends) I just feel good in this style, I get a lot of hate.

I have never been this excited about a tiktok trend (well except when they decide my usual style of dressing is suddenly cool). Idk if it's because I'm comfortably middle class & all my primary needs have been met, but seeing PR unboxings stress me out & i get overwhelmed by seeing people by every shade of lipstick in existence off a brand 5 times a year. I start overthinking & wondering about the hellish recyling process & there's something satisfying about using things up, fixing things, and saving money (and just having savings & no debt). Thank you 🙏

Jumping to your full video on the topic now because I love the trend in the sense that I was tired of seeing ads after ads everytime I watch something on social media. But as a black Caribbean woman who grew up on thrifted clothes, reused containers, etc because there was never another option to begin with, I really appreciate this perspective. This is our normal life that's now a CORE

I think we need to make it a trend to mail our trash from one corporation back to that corporation.

hi! u have such great points. i randomly made two fairy doors out of sticks and wood and put them leaning on two park trees. i’m planning on taking them out before winter and checking up on em as they stay outside. i totally agree that u should never put nails on trees or use mass produced fairy doors. we can make small natural doors if even that:) thank u for ur points🌱the fairies thank u🍃

I come from middle class yet my family still pass around hand me downs and I still prefer thrift store furniture and clothes rather than get everything new. I wear things until they fall apart but that’s because I was raised by baby boomers. it’s just a smarter way of doing things regardless of class

In my opinion, I have a love hate relationship with this. I’ve seen underconsumption videos that are good like how to thrift, how to recycle certain materials and make the most out of them, and I watch a lot of food influencers and see how they reuse certain foods. However, I’ve seen videos some of the things seem totally unnecessary. For example there was this girl who tried to deinfluence cleaning supplies by making her own which is generally unsafe and not as effect compared to science proven brands and people in the comment section told her that this was not helpful for poor people who’s time could be spent buying something affordable. Or the videos where they basically say that they don’t want or have a gym membership. but the people who do aren’t over consuming, they’re investing in their body and health, not clothes, makeup, or shoes. Or I’ve even seen comments on food videos where people say that someone is eating is overconsumption however if the food is not going to waste then HOW?! If I had a big family I would buy a lot of food to lay and in America a lot of people stock up if they are busy working, have kids, or don’t live a minutes walk from a grocery store. Also I believe in supporting small businesses by buying merch or donating and I will continue to buy stuff like that to help others. I won’t thrift or borrow everything because some things I would like for myself or my family. Don’t get me wrong overconsumption is a thing. Like you don’t need to have 20 makeup palettes, blushes, eyeshadow, bronzer, etc if you already have some or aren’t going good to use it. Just get a few that you like and work good for you and stick to a set that’ll last long until you find something better. But also don’t keep an expired makeup set when it’s okay to say it’s done and buy a new one. You know? I think we need a balance and also need to set the record straight that underconsumption is buying AN UNNECESSARY AMOUNT OF ITEMS rather than buying stuff at all. Sorry for the huge rant

Hi Isaias, I love that underconsumption core is trending and thankyou for doing this considered response. It needs to be deconstructed - but it also needs to be encouraged as it’s the first “trend” I have seen in forever that talks to a mindset redesign for people who think they need the latest thing to belong (and funny how people are asking for reccs in the videos promoting this trend). Most people are trained from birth to want stuff, (witness kids in the aisle at any supermarket) and though you point to poverty, and rightly so as a reason why it’s a difficult one that itself is part of the construct of why people have not seen being smart/frugal/considered because of the associations to poverty when in fact it just makes sense. I call it “enoughness” the knowing what you need, and living with it and nothing more because what’s the point in having more than you can need or use? When you really think about it, greed is pointless.

Nadie usa el denomino “latinx” es ofensivo e irrespetuoso. Para por favor.

Ok, but are Gen Z and Gen alpha into this to actually consume less, or just for the aesthetic? Like, are they going to run out and buy stuff to look like they consume less because they saw it on tiktok? Aha, as I'm typing this, I just got to the part where you more or less ask this question!

To feel targeted when people try to un-normalise the overconsumption that runs RAMPANT in modern society and always targets lower and middle class households, is more telling of you rather than the "white people".

Thank you for the information!

This is such an important topic. Thank you
