Marketing and consumerism: the major enemies of healthy environment.

In our modern world, people have begun to pay more attention to the things that surround them. The choice has become much wider not only in industry, but also in production itself. People buy more, forcing manufacturers to produce in the amount needed by the consumer. But not only supply and demand affect the market situation.

The laws of marketing successfully affect each of us. Walking through the streets of the city, we notice a huge amount of advertising on every corner, represented by banners, posters, advertising on the walls of famous buildings. Not only in public places can you feel the impact of marketing. Imagine that today, even to watch a movie on the Internet, you need to view two necessary advertisements (thanks to those site administrators who allow you to skip ads). Each of us at least once felt when an ad for the bookmaker appeared at the most interesting moment in the film, when the heart was about to jump out of our chest. You don’t even need to talk about television, there is advertising at every step, there are even separate television channels for this.

But how does consumption affect the environment? Garbage. It is logical to assume that the more society spends on faith in advertising, the more society consumes unnecessary garbage. You can also talk about the effect of fashion on each of us for hours. Have you ever wondered why you need so much clothes or why you need a new phone model when everything seems to work?

The production of more and more consumer goods pollutes the environment. And this is scary. We become like puppets who want everything and even more. Emissions of chemical elements into the atmosphere during production and transportation pollute the atmosphere, which leads to a huge number of environmental problems.

It is worth considering how much a consumer society has a strong influence on everyone and how much it interferes with living in peace with our planet. Maybe it's mean that we should just a little more rational to approach your purchases? Notice that you will become happier when you stop living in a pile of rubbish, which is a pity to throw away.
