Episódio 11 - O temperamento fleumático

"Less is more," they say. And a new social media trend is supporting this idea by encouraging people to stop buying new things, and use what they already have.

"Underconsumption core" content shows people using items and wearing clothes they've had for a long time, instead of buying new things often promoted by influencers.

In the last decade or so, social media has become the home of influencer marketing, where popular content creators use their platforms to promote products to their followers.

This might be anything from showing clothes they've recently bought to opening — or "unboxing" — new products and reviewing them.

According to Statista, 28% of TikTok users bought products influenced by celebrity content in 2022. But some people are growing tired of being told what to buy.

Diana Wiebe, a TikTok creator and self-named "de-influencer," went viral in 2023 when she posted a video of herself reacting to an influencer shopping at Target, an American discount retail chain.

In the video, Wiebe can be seen calling almost every item she sees "garbage," adding, "You don't need that." Many TikTok users supported her message in the comments.

Talking to Atlanta-based Scripps News, Wiebe explained that the new trend is "a direct rejection of overconsumption."

Another TikTok creator, Sabrina Pare, is sharing the same message to her 250,000 followers through videos showing her using items she's had for years, as well as reusing old materials and wearing secondhand clothes.

The content shows followers how underconsumption saves money and is better for the environment.

A 2017 report estimated that 83 million metric tons of shoes and clothing was thrown away in 2015, and that could increase to 134 million metric tons by 2030.

While Wiebe told Scripps News that companies making new products may have the biggest impact on the environment, she added, "If we consume less, they're not going to produce as much, and hopefully there will be less waste as well."

SERBIAN TO GO

Када се обележава Дан жена? - Kada se obeležava Dan žena? (A2 and above)

夏休みが終わった！！
高校生の息子はあと１日夏休みが残っていますが、小学生の娘は夏休みが終わりました。
娘は今年の夏、ピアノコンクールに挑戦していました。本当に毎日よく練習しました。
日曜日に本選がありました。
途中でまさかの2秒ほど一時停止。間違えたのではなく、なぜか一時停止。本番は何が起こるかわからないって、このことですね。コンクールですから、演奏の途中で止まることは、大きな減点です。それでも3位という立派な結果を頂きました。でもね、「くやしい、、、」「どうして、どうして止まっちゃった」って聴いていた私も、弾いていた娘も思いました。あー、あれさえなければって。悔いても、後の祭りですね。
で、「緊張したせいで、とても基本的なことを忘れてしまった。自分のピアノの音をしっかり聴くということを忘れてしまった」って、本番が終わって一夜明けた朝に娘が言っていました。
自分の間違いの理由に気づけたことは、本当に大きな成長です。
「挑戦する」ってことはいいことですね。いつも発見があるように思います。うまくいくこともあれば、失敗することもあります。そして、挑戦する努力の過程（かてい）がとても大切ですね。小学生の娘、まだまだ小さいと思っていましたが、ずいぶん大きくなりました。
どなたか、ピアノが大好きって方いませんか。ぜひぜひ、メッセージくださいね。
ピアノ好きの娘が大好きなドラマは「のだめカンタービレ」です。ずいぶん古いドラマです。上野樹里（うえのじゅり）さんが主演（しゅえん）なんです。面白いですよ。ネットフリックスには、「のだめカンタービレ」の映画があります。私と娘はもう5回は見ました。
あと、「ピアノの森」というアニメが大好きです。日本の有名なピアニストの反田恭平（そりたきょうへい）さんが演奏しているんです。このアニメもネットフリックスにありますよ。興味がある人は見てみてくださいね。
後の祭り：手遅れ（ておくれ）
過程：ある結果に達するまでの道、プロセス。
