Consumerism is going to backfire

Consumerism is going to backfire

I just saw a 20-minute video on “Stuff.” The point is to educate all of us on what it takes to not only bring a product to market, but what the costs are that we do not see; the cost to our children, our planet, and ourselves. This goes way beyond why it is nice to recycle, but how we must fundamentally change our attitudes about buying stuff. This is a fit in how to create personal wealth. There is so much stuff we buy out of guilt, planned obsolescence, advertising pressure and so on, that this video will help you understand why we do NOT need to buy so much stuff.
