The Hidden Environmental Costs of Our Daily Shopping Habits

In this video, we explore the environmental impact of our modern consumer habits. From buying new clothes every two weeks to upgrading our phones every year, our shopping behaviors have significant hidden costs. How sustainable is it to constantly buy new products? What happens to the items we discard? How does this relentless consumption affect our planet?

We'll dive into the history of consumerism, its current patterns, and the drastic effects on the environment. We'll discuss:

The environmental price tag of products like clothes and electronics
The challenges of recycling and waste management
The role of fast fashion and e-waste in pollution
How festive seasons and sales contribute to overconsumption
The influence of social media, advertising, and easy credit on our buying habits
Join us in questioning if our need for new things is driven by personal greed or broader economic changes. Learn what we can do to shift towards more sustainable consumption patterns.
