gift economy
Based on a video about Japans quiet revolution around living with less (the Satori generation).
Mottainai (勿体無い) - the regret of waste Danshari (断捨離) - refuse, dispose, separate Wabi-sabi (侘寂) - beauty in imperfection Shizen (自然) - natural living in harmony Ma (間) - the power of empty space
I feel like this is something that is missing locally for us. Here are some ideas of communal spaces that could be used to save rather than spend.
- Repair Cafe
- Tool library
- Buy nothing community (share books bicycles etc)
