Project No Buy
Remove yourself from the "landscape of influence" by joining our gentle resistance. New videos 2-3x per week, working towards the personal goal of Project No Buy 2025 through sharing conversations and ideas, trying to dismantle any of the narratives of society that push us towards buying things we don't need and don't even truly want.
My purpose here is to provide a safe space for you to hang out, find company and community through these ideas, and never feel influenced to buy stuff - if anything, hopefully the opposite.
Content creation is not my job and will never replace my "regular job," so my motivations here are never driven by exterior sources of influence.
This channel began in 2024 as my no-buy diary: consumerism reflections, wardrobe exploration, decluttering, and financial goals...all from a "fellow traveler" trying to move from constant consumerism, to Conscious Consumerism. In 2025 we are buckling down, for Project No Buy - who's with me?
