Have Less

What is money? It's a claim on resources. Physical resources, from the Earth System.

There are tons of great solutions for making products - like clothes - less impactful. Organic cotton instead of conventional; fair trade certification for clothing brands; thrift shopping and durability instead of fast fashion.

But hasn't it's become too easy to get lost in a specific sector and its product-level standards and forget to address the whole? The whole is tough to imagine and it's tough to communicate. How about "have less money to spend"? I think it communicates the right idea, on average. And I don't mean spending less just on clothes, or travel, or a single category of goods and services. On everything. Like, in general.
