Rob Walker launches Unconsumption Wiki along with Tumblelog

By Allan Chochinov - May 19, 2009

If "Consumption" is about the moment of acquisition, "Unconsumption" simply describes everything after that. Unconsumption means the accomplishment of properly recycling your old cellphone, rather than the guilt of letting it sit in a drawer.

Check out Rob Walker's Unconsumption (some great definitions of the term on the right column), and then hop over to their new Wiki, "with a focus on links and tips for fixing it, making it last, repurposing it, getting rid of it responsibly. (Whatever 'it' may be.)" This could be great.
