Stop It At Its Source: Overconsumption

Описание: Stop It At It's Source: Overconsumption

Over consumption is one of the biggest issues we face within our current modern world. With so much privilege and access to different items, we can buy non stop. Though this habit of purchasing way more than one needs can lead to landfills and harmful chemicals lingering within our world, worsening global pollution.

We have all experiences something which we have overconsumed, and I am no different. There were lines of a product I just had to own at least one thousand of. However, after seeing the damage which it can cause to the environment, I am to use only what I necessarily need, or if there is a want I choose to fulfill, having it come from as many reusable sources as possible.
