Assignment task:
I m writing an essay about minimalism and how it ties to sustainability. My working essay thesis is "minimalism has the ability to oppose consumerism and aid in ecological preservation." My body paragraphs include
1. History of consumerism and how it led to the popularity of minimalism (an act of defiance?)
2. Impacts of consumerism on the physical environment and why minimalism can oppose that
3. The negative impact of consumerism on mental health (through advertising and media) and how mindfulness can improve it through mindfulness/experience/putting less value on possessions.
Can you help me with this essay?
