The 30 Day Stop the Consumption Challenge Part Two
In last week’s episode I laid the foundation of why and how we shifted to a consumer culture. Although this was a gradual shift, it was also highly planned and organized. The Industrial Revolution was only the beginning. For the first time in human history our societies were able to produce more than we needed to live day-to-day. Then the problem shifted from “Do I need this?” to “How do we sell all this stuff?”
The challenge we now face is the constant extraction of materials and production of products is pushing planetary boundaries. We are reaching ecological limits and facing resource depletion and environmental damage. Despite this we seem to ignore the need for change.
So stick around for the 30 Day Stop the Consumption Challenge Part Two.
