It was an honor being invited to speak at the same event among many thoughtful speakers with various perspectives such as Bill Gates and former Vice president Al Gore. The topic covered for my interview was “Can a Tidy House Save the World?” where I shared how I strongly believe that tidying can lead us to live more sustainable lifestyles. By tidying, you are really able to very clearly understand what is the most important to yourself. You’re able to prevent over consumption and are also able to be aware of how much stock you have of your things. You’re also able to make decisions on what sparks joy for you not just in relation with products, but also in relationships with people as well as in work. I believe that we will truly be able to reduce the amount of wasted resources in the world by leading a lifestyle where you take care of the things that mean the most to you and make more conscious decisions on consumption. The thought of “we must save the world!” is a wonderful and important thing too, but I believe starting first at tidying and understanding and taking care of the things that truly spark joy for you within each of your own homes, is also a very important first step towards taking action for a more sustainable future. I believe that each person takes action to change, it directly contributes to the larger improvement of the global environment. Currently, I have a program dedicated to train and nurture a community of certified KonMari Consultants that become professionals in tidying and helping people lead more joy-sparking lifestyles. Together with them and their wonderful work, I am so proud to see and feel that we are slowly tidying the world together. #mariekondo #konmarimethod #sparkjoy #sustainability #tidying #mindfulconsumption #konmariconsultants」10月3日 6時31分
