It’s about stepping away from tech. The utensils I need new as I have really old trashed plastic and I hate replacing cheap plastic with more cheap plastic that dies after a year. I enjoy cooking and want to streamline to true useful tools that will last 10/20 years. I can scour thrift shops but that’s a bit hit and miss. It’s more about escaping tech. The utensils are just the variable here. I hate thinking ok a good fish flipper is high on my list. First I have to research, and it’s laborious, even when I can find a few decent but they are in key retailers, at a price. It gets tough avoiding the big ones.
Again the other variable new furniture, marketplace is great, less waste, usually cheapish but requires FB which I am boycotting.
I suppose I am asking how others manage less consuming, less waste, less spends free of tech.
I have started this in the last year, I hadn’t considered it by breaking it down by media consumption/storage/browsing habits etc. I am so sick of feeling alike a sales target, and a tool that can be influenced. I do also like the idea of attacking it by provider. I have recently started to cut Amazon out, gotten rid of my Alexa’s, stopped buying and my fire sticks are going soon.
An area I struggle with is maps and travel. I am iPhone and I like to listen to tunes when I am driving and I rely on maps, for routes and to find local services coffee food etc. sometimes I feel like my own worst enemy in my quests.
