Consumerism is now a part of our lives. If we look carefully, we can see that everything needs to be bougth : food, water, first necessities ; but also animaals, plants and some rocks which are considered "precious".
We have all fallen into consumerism, but, what does mean consumerism ?
Consumerism is the purpose of making the people buy products for their benefities. But, to buy those products, people have to have the sense of need. That is why the adverstising is generally used : to convince to buy.
The economic interest mater all the world forget the consequences of consumerism ; the pollution of our planet, and its destruction.
This is why I agree with this idea, to create the Buy Nothing Day. We don't know yet, but all what we do will have consequences in the future, and if we continue to support the economic market ( I mean, in the extreme ) which I sinceraly think doesn't care about ecology and saving the planet, because they would lose money, and prefer having benefits than helping someone who needs their help.
The act of buying something is not something wrong, but, like all things in the world, the extrems are bad. Buying is not bad, buy anything for anything reason without thinking where the product has been done, without interest if it respects the environment or not, and without knowing if it is really important to you, it is.
