Repeat An Outfit Without Shame, Dr. Ruby's Quiet Revolt Against Consumerism | Ep 262| The Mohua Show

This episode of The Mohua Show is a reality check to the core.

Dr. Ruby, an environmental scientist and waste management expert, dissects the invisible psychology of our throwaway culture and the systems that sustain it.

A conversation about the lies we tell ourselves to feel good, and the hard truths we must face to do good.

What this episode is REALLY about

Not just recycling.
Not just corporate greenwashing.
Not just individual guilt.

It’s about:

The myth of “away”: where our trash actually goes
Designing for death: why products must have an end-of-life plan
The manufacturer’s dirty secret: who really owns the mess
The addiction of possession: how advertising sold us “more”
Why repeating an outfit should be a badge of honor, not shame
The radical shift: from “reuse” to “replace”
Media’s failure: doomsday headlines vs. solution stories
The elitist lie: that sustainability is expensive or “shabby”
From mandate to investment: why going green boosts the economy
A two-year-old’s wisdom: the hope in a banana peel
The quiet revolution: WhatsApp groups, sharing, and the new “elite”

If you’ve ever thrown something away and felt a flicker of doubt, this episode has answers.
