第22話　お盆が来る。

"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."

Less Is More: What Is 'Underconsumption Core'?

In questo episodio scopriamo la vera storia del tiramisù un dolce italiano ormai famoso in tutto il mondo. In effetti, chi è che non conosce il tiramisù? 
Ecco una piccola parte del testo 

La Vera Storia del Tiramisù
La vera storia del Tiramisù è avvolta da un'atmosfera romantica e suggestiva, una storia di sapori e di persone che hanno contribuito a creare uno dei dolci italiani più celebri al mondo.
Si ritiene che le origini del Tiramisù possano essere fatte risalire al XVII secolo, nel cuore delle affascinanti città di Treviso o Venezia, nella regione del Veneto. Una delle leggende più amate racconta di donne delle locande veneziane che preparavano questo dessert per i marinai che arrivavano in città. Il Tiramisù era un dolce perfetto per quei tempi, in quanto conteneva ingredienti facilmente conservabili, come uova, zucchero e caffè. I savoiardi, i biscotti leggeri e asciutti utilizzati nella ricetta, garantivano che il dolce rimanesse fresco e delizioso anche dopo lunghi viaggi in mare.
Un altro aneddoto racconta la visita del Granduca di Toscana, Cosimo III de' Medici, alla città di Siena nel XVII secolo. (...)
