#Consumption
Buy. Use. Throw away. Buy more. Fast food, fast fashion, single use plastic and disposable electronics are trashing our planet. Let’s buy less, live more. Unsustainable consumption is driving a vicious cycle of environmental destruction and injustice. And it’s not making us happy. We have to work to make sure that our human economies function within nature’s limits. Let’s define ourselves, not by what we own but through our experiences and relationships. Not by what we consume but by what we contribute. By working together we can turn a vicious cycle into a sustainable one, giving the planet a chance.
