This was a really insightful post, thank you for sharing what the Seventh Generation Principle is. Definitely puts things into a new perspective for me and I agree with you that it is mind-boggling that the procedural dimension of justice in decision is often ignored when it makes the most sense that those directly involved would know the best about the situation and deserve the most power in the decision making.

Great post! You're right, media often only brings awareness to topics that are popular which I find so startling considering how common this injustice that Indigenous communities are facing across the country actually is. I have to agree that I too wasn't aware of the situations and realize that I need to make more effort in educating myself by being more selective with which type of media I am exposed to.

Hi Bhavin! Totally agree with you in regards of implementing a law to ensure Indigenous voices are more heard. I really like your idea of considering compensation as even if agreements are made, there are bound to be some detrimental effects to the change implemented. I also like that you mentioned compensations outside of monetary values by mentioning opportunities that can be offered!

I agree! It is not only the sustainability and ecological aspects we are concerned about but also what cultural impact we may be having on Indigenous communities; therefore it is more than appropriate and long overdue to have more awareness and consultation by Indigenous communities being done in these matters that directly affect them.

I also feel like trends these days are moving so fast! By the time I finally get on board, a new one was arisen. I agree that we can take matters in our own hands by changing our mindset about this trend cycle and encourage others to do the same!

I really like the ideas in your post and how you offered alternatives that are more sustainable! Your pillars to your minimalist utopia are great; I definitely want to follow in your footsteps!

I like your mention of focusing on the positives and how we can move forward by empowering other! Education is definitely one of the first steps to change.

Hi Philip! Great question, I was thinking somewhere alongs the lines that this new trend has arisen due to fashion trends changing at a faster pace than before (we can see this by the countless fashion shows recently that are categorized by seasons too). In addition, the emergence of the trend of shopping hauls would result in greater demand for more clothing which companies need to accommodate by using cheaper materials to save costs.

I heard about celebrities using private plans for short distances too and was completely baffled at actually how many people partake in this activity. I totally agree that more discussion on the actions of the wealthy should be brought up more.

Really like this idea of implementing a cultural shift alongside changes in law to make a change!

I like the idea of censorship on advertisements but I wonder to what extent would that be allowed?

I agree! Industries can also totally get involved, maybe by creating/implementing more easier repair services that are offered at a discounted rate!

Great post! Reminds of me the "Repair Cafes" that some communities have which focuses on volunteers who offer to repair old items!

Totally agree! It's hard to completely get rid of the notion of adding new items of clothing to your wardrobe but I liked the point you raised about revamping what you already have! Also didn't think about the harmfulness about thrift hauls but that's also very true.
