flourishing

within limits

Our economies are built on the idea that growth must always continue. But on a finite planet, endless production and consumption are not possible. Year of Less explores a different question:
can our economies thrive by doing better with what already exists?

less stuff!

& more impact

What is

year of less?

The idea

Year of Less is a collective challenge to buy nothing new for a year.

Instead of doing this alone, you join a growing community choosing secondhand, repair and reuse.

Every choice contributes to a shared impact: less waste, fewer resources used, more value kept in circulation.

What you gain is not points or prizes, but belonging, clarity and the knowledge that your choices truly matter.
