From Mauritius to Canada: How My Parents Practice Underconsumption Core Daily

Growing up, my parents, who are originally from the island of Mauritius, taught me the importance of living with less and cherishing what we have. Their lifestyle has inspired me to focus on sustainability and reducing waste in my own life. In this video, I’ll give you a peek into their home and show you how they live intentionally with minimal resources, and how this mindset has shaped my entire approach to underconsumption core.
We’ll also dive into some small, practical ways to repurpose things you already have-like how I made these cinnamon buns filled with watermelon rinds and apples! Underconsumption isn’t just about spending less; it’s about reducing waste and making thoughtful choices for the environment.
If this resonates with you, don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more content on underconsumption, sustainability, and living a life that’s more intentional. Let me know in the comments if your parents or grandparents have similar habits. I’d love to hear your stories!

Hi! Such a lovely video, thank you for sharing your parents with us! It's crazy how familiar it all feels just because we share the same culture. We also have popcorn buckets for flour! we also have one for rice lol. Your mum's container drawer is so neat and tidy. We have one but I couldnt show you a picture of it, its a haphazard jenga tower of plastic containers (we've decided it's best to keep lids on to find and use more easily but that ends up taking up so much space). People really do throw things away that are still very good, its not glamorous but sometimes it's just what you needed, and rather than buying new, using 2nd hand is so much better. Me and my mum are SO fascinated by the watermelon grind recipes! Please tell us more about that. Mum doesnt know about this (I'll get her to ask her older sisters!)
