Abstraction

What drives us to consume? This is a question that not too many people are concerned with, but they should. Consumption is one of the biggest problems that we deal with when talking about climate change and global warming. The thing is that few really address the issue because it is viewed as a lifestyle change and very few people are really willing to radically change their way of life. The discourse shaped by media today not only drives consumption but also promotes it. One way to curb consumption would to be limit it, but not by choice but rather through regulation. By slowing consumption we slow the down our impact on the earth, by doing this we will consume less natural resources and at the same time reversing climate change. Just regulating a few things will ultimately save us in the future.
