I don't have kids, so I give a sh*t what I leave here for the next generations.

Do you care? I do, even without kids. With kids, I would probably care even more. 

I read a very inspiring book from the Patagonia brand founder Yvon Chouinard: Let my people go surfing. This book should be a business bible of sustainability and exemplary leadership, but a few weeks ago, I didn’t even know that a book like this existed. There is something wrong here.

Each small decision, like not buying clothes and furniture but instead repairing and reusing, bringing your folding bag into a grocery store, or washing clothes only when they’re really filthy very much impacts the environment. We still don't get it –  the amount each of us can change. I am trying to get it on different anti-consumerism levels. One of them is that I started creating female portraits from our household garbage. (You can check out what was in our trash can at  kikispring.com/collections).

Imagine if there were billions less plastic packaging every day. How about fewer T-shirts, leather handbags, flip-flops, mobile phones, and so on? Instead of working almost 24/7, we can spend time outside with family and friends. Instead of watching Netflix, we can go into the forest, and instead of brown-nosing in a corporation, we can help people, animals, and the environment.

We still don't get how much each of us can change! It does not matter what your reason is. It's just a good thing to do.
