OVERCONSUMPTION
Have you ever watched shopping haul videos on social media? The most common answer is definitely yes. They can be entertaining, but have you realized how dangerous they are? These kinds of videos showcase huge amounts of fast fashion clothes that people may want just because they are trendy. However, after a couple of months, they stop wearing them and buy more clothes. This type of shopping is very harmful to the environment. It encourages the production of massive amounts of clothing that eventually end up polluting the planet. People are controlled by their impulse to buy, which leads to overconsumption. Additionally, nowadays, people can shop online from the comfort of their beds, and within a few days, their purchases arrive at their doorstep. This convenience makes them buy more and think less about what they are doing. Now that you’ve read this, be mindful of what you truly need. Don’t buy on impulse—look for high-quality clothes and wear them until they can no longer be used.
