opportunitied 's review for:
A Life Less Throwaway: The Lost Art of Buying for Life
by Tara Button
tldr: be mindful of what you buy and try to choose things that will last and fit your lifestyle until you die and preferably until your grandchildren die. don't buy into trends. declutter if needed to get rid of both physical and mental clutter.
my main gripe here is that there's no mention of how buying a belt for 100€+ just isn't possible for a lot of people (she says something about debt as an afterthought at the end). and i do not get how decluttering your underwear down to 18 pieces and throwing away the rest is good for the environment. sure, she mentioned using them as rags before throwing them in the bin, but maybe don't do that if they're still in good condition? maybe replace things once your old stuff is beyond saving? don't declutter for the sake of decluttering. use it up first.
