Instead of repairing them, we often just buy a replacement. The direct consequences of our overconsumption are visible the world over: growing mountains of waste, rising CO2 emissions, and the exploitation of both people and natural resources.\u201d \u00a0 Taking this exhibit as a starting point, we will collectively construct an overview of how consumption contributes to environmental degradation and inequality, we will then explore how people and communities are pushing back against consumerism (i.e., the Voluntary Simplicity and Repair Caf\u00e9 movements). \u00a0We will read and discuss relevant theoretical work, and investigate real-world examples of efforts to cultivate \u2018the good life\u2019 (happiness, well-being, community, identity, belonging) which are not predicated on buying lots of s**t. \u00a0While this course is ostensibly about how we can live lightly on the earth, it is ultimately an opportunity to build community with your peers in the Environmental Studies program and to find hope during a very challenging time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  \n      <div class=\"links-container\">\n\n                        \n        \n          \n            <div class=\"column\">\n                <ul>\n                                                                  <li>\n                                \n<div class=\"f--field f--link\">\n\n    \n    \n  \n<a \n  class=\"link\"\n  href= https:\/\/vs-daily-incorporation.my.canva.site\/home\n  target=\"_blank\"  aria-label=\"Read more about Voluntary Simplicty Affordably -
