Are we a consumer and wasteful society?
Nowadays, people buy a lot of things that they don’t need. Sometimes we are unaware of what we really need. Moreover, we are a consumer society who is buying things and spending money on clothes and food every day.
For example, when we go to the supermarket and buy a lot of food and things, without paying attention to expiry date and we have to throw them away, it doesn't matter if we ever open a can, a box or a package.
About clothes is the same situation, constantly we are buying clothes for each season of the year, we accumulate clothes, and we don’t wear them, almost all the time we just wear them one time and then we go to buy more, for a simple reason, the brands create false needs for us so that we need to buy their stuff, because we like to be in fashion. But that isn't true, we don’t really need, but we allow them to persuade our mind to spend our money on them.
Actually, our society is being one of the most consumer oriented and wasteful, because we can’t understand that we can spend our money on things that we really need, we only think to buy the most advanced gadgets and expensive brands, because that make us feel good and fashionable. We are immersed in an environment, where the most important factor is buying and throwing our money for getting what we think is the best, without realizing that there are millions of people who really need all that we can appreciate.
