Join us in rejecting the ti(red) notion that shopping is a reasonable response to human suffering.
The US makes up 5% of the world’s population, but we consume 25% of the world’s natural resources. Our prosperity creates a disparity in the rest of the world. We need to stop buying so much junk. When we do purchase something, we should think about where it comes from and where it will go when we’re finished with it. Do we really need it? We need to reduce consumption to improve the planet’s ecology.
We can no longer afford to remain blind to the consequences of our consumer culture. Our planet will survive; it’s we who will perish.
