After reading the article Effects of Consumerism, it was somewhat alarming at some of the things that we do in order to function in society that is gravely affecting the world we live in. Some of these effects of consumerism that are mentioned were not as shocking to me because I had already become aware of that particular issue, but there were still other things that then made me feel like we are not willing to think about what we are doing to the planet before proceeding to make something that will most likely leave a huge mark in/on the world.
After reading this article, these are some questions that came to mind:
There are so many products that are mass produced and these things are often seen as a necessity in order to function in today's fast paced society, so what do we now believe to be a necessity when it is actually a luxury?
People have already created small groups/organizations in order to help cleanup our environment of trash and other harmful things, but what can we do to get more people involved or have more people make better personal changes when it comes to their trash, or even their carbon footprint?
