It's actually not that difficult only buying food and hygiene products for one month. It isn't sustainable (for my household) since many things like electronic devices or clothing have a "shelf life" and will break sooner or later.

Still I love the idea and I think it would help many people to save money, use less resources and think about what really makes them happy.

In September I will start making memes about it 🥳

Wow... this movement has just doubled in size. Continuing this exponential growth, the movement will have around 137,438,953,472 participants on September 1st, and thereby will have a profound if not catastrophic impact on the global economy. 🥳🥳
