#mindful-consumption

It took an audit of my spending last summer to get myself in check. During that time, I also decided to grow tomatoes in the garden of my shared flat. I was a novice gardener, but soon I became obsessed with caring for these plants. It was as if a switch had been flicked in my mind as if it had taken the idea of growing my own food to truly understand the value and timescale of food production.

The "Earned Grocery Effect" leads to mindful consumption, as each item feels heavier when carried home. This changed my perception of purchases and waste.

I want Milton and Goose kitchens to last through all the kids in a family. Then, they can be passed to friends or packed away for the next generation.
