Primer to Eco-Friendly Minimalist Living

Instead of simply decluttering and then fill your house only to declutter again, Seferian wants you to break the consumption cycle. Blending minimalist living with an eco-friendly lifestyle, Sustainable Minimalism gives tips and suggestions to lower your carbon footprint and reduce the amount of waste you produce. 

Similar to Bea Johnson's Zero Waste Home without being quite as judgemental, Seferian acknowledges the privilege needed to enact many green measures, yet encourages you to start with small affordable steps. While some of her remarks are pretty extreme (no more air travel, foraging for food), she focuses her attention on more actionable items like composting and alternatives to single-use plastics.
