Late stage capitalism views, where we symbolically replicate a toy and take away its first function… 👀 catch the thrift stores in a few weeks 🐓
Only shopping first hand when nessesary, trying to close the circle is as simple as we make it. Make our rounds checking the list for a specific few at the second hand. The system of waste has Americans hooked.
We at Crescent Compost, believe in closing this loop and putting our energy towards creative regeneration. Whether that is in our garden, home, or craft. Using what we have, leaning into utility and simplifying.
No we’re not perfect and know nobody is, but it’s about the impact of using our resources to the best of our ability. Less want, less waste, less cycles and less traps. Allowing us to feel more in rhythm with ourselves and not with the Walmart shelves…
Mass consumption, advertising, and mass art are a corporate Frankenstein; while they reinforce the system, they also undermine it. — Ellen Willis
