Conscious Consumerism: 10 things I don't buy (European in the US)

Thanks for being here! In this video, I'll be sharing 10 things I don't buy as a conscious consumer living in America, and how embracing minimalism and sustainable living has transformed the way I shop. As a European (German) in the US, I've made mindful choices to reduce waste, save money, and live more intentionally.

Conscious consumerism isn't about deprivation, it's about being more intentional with your purchases and focusing on sustainability and quality over quantity.

I'll break down the products I no longer buy and explain why, from fast food to disposable plastics, and how I've found alternatives that align with my values. Learn how to incorporate mindful consumption, ethical shopping, and zero waste practices into your daily life.
