November 19, 2024

Black Friday is known as one of the busiest shopping days of the year, but did you know there’s a growing movement that promotes the opposite? Greenpeace introduced Zero Saturday as a counterweight—a day to pause, buy nothing, and reflect on our consumption habits. To support this initiative, the Library offers a new online bookshelf on minimalism and degrowth. These inspiring titles provide practical advice for a more sustainable and mindful lifestyle. Borrow them or read them online!
