"The problem is not just plastic: it is mass disposability. Or, to put it another way, the problem is pursuing, on the one planet known to harbour life, a four-planet lifestyle. Regardless of what we consume, the sheer volume of consumption is overwhelming the Earth’s living systems."
"We need 1.7 planets to fulfill our appetite for stuff. And it's getting worse."
I just finished reading “Buy-ology, the truth and lies about what we buy” by Martin Lindstrom. 📚One of the most notable conclusions of the book is summed up in this sentence:
“In other words, overt, direct, visual explicit anti-smoking messages 🚭did more to encourage smoking than any deliberate campaign that Marlboro 🚬or Camel 🐫could come up with.”
"You're buying the package,
You're buying the dream,
You pay for the ads
On the television screen,
They sell you a story,
They sell you a mood,
But what they don't deliver is food."
