Minimalism in the mainstream
The idea of minimalism has inserted its way into the mainstream where it was made popular by Marie Kondo and that science has evidence to back its arguments.
Minimalistic living is good for the mind, body, and soul. When we consume less, we're also lowering our footprint on the planet. By buying less of clothing, gadget, or products we help in reducing the amount of resources and emissions that come with the manufacturing of every new product.
