Slow living

Slow living is a lifestyle emphasizing slower approaches to aspects of everyday life.^[1] The concept of "slow" lifestyles first emerged in the slow food movement, which emphasizes more "traditional" food production processes as a reaction to fast food that emerged in Italy during the 1980s and 1990s. Slow food and slow living are frequently, but not always, proposed as solutions to what the green movement describes as problems in materialistic and industrial lifestyles.
