Description

In this episode of The Optimist Daily’s Weekly Round-up, Arielle and Karissa explore two uplifting solutions that challenge overconsumption and digital overwhelm. First, they dive into the growing trend of screen-free living among younger generations, highlighting how a quiet rebellion is reshaping our relationship with technology. Then they spotlight Poppins, a joyful French app inspired by Mary Poppins’ magical carpet bag, designed to help neighbors borrow instead of buy everyday items. From raclette machines to baby cots, this circular sharing model is saving money, reducing waste, and sparking real-life community connections. Tune in to discover how technology can help us simplify, reconnect, and live more sustainably.
