I’d like to know your thoughts about our consumerist culture.
We’ve just heard Simon Carey Holt give his take on how we can live ethically, in a world that’s so focussed on making a dollar, and buying the next flashy toy.
Now let’s hear your thoughts.
• Do you find yourself caught up in an endless cycle of consuming, keeping up with fashion, and meeting mortgage repayments?
• When you go shopping, do you find it hard to stick to a budget, and find yourself buying something that you hadn’t planned to, maybe a new outfit, or a new gadget, just because it looks so good?
• OR Have you found some really good ways to avoid getting sucked in by marketing, and only purchase what you really need.
• What do you think we could do to live more lightly on the earth…
• Maybe you live in one of those sustainable, community-style set ups, where neighbours share gardens and whitegoods, in order to consume less and protect the environment? I’d love to hear from you too…
