Finding the Essentials: Sustainability Through Minimalism

Join us as we delve into the topic of minimalism, consumerism, and their connection to forming sustainable and healthy lifestyles.

While throwing away all material possessions is one way to go minimal, we plan to show that minimalism is more about considering the purpose that objects serve in one’s life. There are many interpretations of what this lifestyle practice entails. We hope to explore the potential of minimalism to be a tool for a person to think critically about what they bring into their life. This critical lens on consumption can lead to a more sustainable relationship with the world.

Join us as we screen summaries of two documentaries on the subject:

• “Thrive with Less”
• “Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things”.

The screening will be followed by an exciting discussion panel with experts and students in order to answer all your questions about what is at the heart of minimalism.

Reserve a spot here.

We cannot wait to see you there!
