I can\u2019t say I remember the first time I watched a clip showing hordes of people trampling over each other at a store on Black Friday \u2014 but it was shocking. Now, it\u2019s entirely predictable. If I had to guess, these occurrences are so iconic that most people would easily recognize the day if they saw it on the news.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the majority of Americans won\u2019t actually be fighting someone for a cheap television this year. Still, we are ensnared in a consumer-oriented culture in which we are constantly bombarded by corporate advertising that tries to convince us that we need more and more stuff. Current marketing tactics have become hyper-targeted, and it\u2019s as if the internet is predicting what you want before you knew you wanted it (<a href=\"http:\/\/mentalfloss.com\/article\/515030\/how-facebook-collects-data-about-you-target-ads-and-how-you-can-change\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spoiler alert: it is<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>It may seem harmless to join in on those Black Friday sales, but this simply isn\u2019t true. So much of what we buy now is fast, cheap, and disposable, and to produce many of the items we use, we\u2019re continuing the vicious cycle of environmental degradation and the subsequent waste it creates.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_61236\" style=\"width: 447px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61236\" class=\" wp-image-61236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/6be67782-gp0stqs3u_web_size_with_credit_line.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"437\" height=\"291\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-61236\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plastic waste on the beaches of Manila Bay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I readily admit that I have been tempted by the tantalizing ads featuring items I don\u2019t really need. Yet our mindless consumerism contributes to a host of environmental problems we can no longer ignore. Horrible working conditions for laborers, deforestation, the hidden costs and pollution behind global shipping \u2014 not to mention the waste it creates when we\u2019re through with it \u2014 this is the actual cost of those deals we believe we\u2019ve scored. As Naomi Klein <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jdaxehd0cF0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">points out<\/a>, \u201cclimate change has less to do with carbon than with capitalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop shopping, start living, MAKE SMTHNG!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/17439760.2014.898316?journalCode=rpos20&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> from San Francisco State University suggests that while we continue to consume material goods \u2014 believing it\u2019s bringing us happiness \u2014 our money would be vastly better spent on <em>experiences<\/em>, like heading to a show, saving for (and going on) an amazing trip, or meeting friends for dinner. Using our money to fund an occasion, instead of goods, has proven a much better predictor of a person\u2019s overall happiness. That\u2019s worth reminding ourselves when seeing that tempting object we just don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_50026\" style=\"width: 274px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50026\" class=\" wp-image-50026\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/230098fd-8151063948_61ebfb2fc9.jpg\" alt=\"Buy Nothing Black Friday\" width=\"264\" height=\"396\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-50026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can do it all, just don&#8217;t buy it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Another great way to take action against consumerism is by joining the millions of people who are opting out of Black Friday to participate in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adbusters.org\/bnd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy Nothing Day<\/a>. We can make a statement by putting our wallets away, getting outside or connect with friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>Wasteful overconsumption has found its nemesis in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.makesmthng.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MAKE SMTHNG Week<\/a> \u2013 an international festival that celebrates the community of crafters, upcyclers, and DIY geniuses who reject consumerism in the name of resourcefulness.

Remembering that the tradition of the season is to be mindful in helping others, and to give what we can to support the causes we hold most dear. That certainly doesn&#8217;t have to be tied to monetary donations; there are many organizations and local community efforts that would greatly benefit from volunteering our time. Giving Tuesday helps us rethink what it means to celebrate, to give, and to connect in a meaningful way with the world around us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At some point,
