Hi there. It seems that minimalist and zero waste movements have picked up some steam recently in many first world countries as a reaction to the consumerist, greed-based lifestyles promoted and upon realisation of our impact on the world. As an aspiring zero waste minimalist and general conversationalist, I am interested in your opinions, so I'll bombard you with some questions.
Do any of you lead a minimalist or zero waste life, or are you aspiring to or making the transition right now?
What is your opinion of the movements?
Are you opposed to the lifestyles?
Why are you/do you want to be minimalist or create zero waste?
What is minimalism to you?
Are you a minimalist in some or all parts of your life?
What challenges did you run into when making the changes, and how did you overcome them?
Is there anything you recommend to those who are still just aspiring?
Does minimalism imply frugality?
Do you have anything else to add?
