CAN MINIMALIST LIFESTYLE BE A KEY TO ACHIEVING SUSTAINABILITY?

The paper emphasizes Minimalism which has evolved into a lifestyle choice, embraced by many not only for its visual allure but also for its profound impact on daily life. Central to minimalism is the promotion of mindfulness in the allocation of possessions, time, finances, and energy. Often mistaken for starkness, minimalism prioritizes quality over quantity, focusing on essentials rather than excess. Rooted in post-World War II reactions to overwhelming artistic expressions, minimalism draws inspiration from Japanese aesthetics and the Modernist movement, exemplified by figures like Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.By curbing consumerism and embracing simplicity, minimalism not only enhances personal well-being but also aligns with broader environmental sustainability goals. Through conscious consumption and mindful living, minimalism emerges as a pathway to a more balanced, fulfilling existence.
