We are hypnotised to buy a lot of cr@* at the end of the day and it all keeps the big wheel turning. You don't take it with you when your time is up. Most will end up in land fill so is it the time to bring back farming and real fashion? Food and shelter is what we need. Some might say buying cra@* keeps the wheel turning but from the news our transactions are destroying the ecological membrane of the planet we actually live on and before long we will all be cellophaned!

Yes, yes, I totally agree with you. The corporate companies are driving our lives. Advertising is very clever and we have been brainwashed into thinking that we can only be happy when we have bought the lastest....whatever. Adverts show happy, healthy people with the lastest technology, shoes, car... We have become so detached and separated from real life that we totally believe that consumerism is the only way to be 'really happy'. We have forgotten our inherent connections with the world - how we can be happy walking through a forest or just sitting under a tree. Rich people and nations are responsible for so much waste. Working in Africa, I see children happy with nothing - just kicking a stone around with their friends. In the West, I see children screaming because they can't have the lastet Nintendo set NOW. It's a mixed up and crazy world and the dominant ideology needs to shift - but how will that ever happen when the leaders of our countries fall into the dominant category?????????

I totally agree with you. Food and shelter is what we need. I would love it if more people and companies felt the same way. If they're going to sell cra*&p then at least go low on the packaging. Everything is always about money. Too bad people don't care as much about the future of our planet and all the different life on it as they do for buying cr*(p. Very good question!!

How about is people buy only what they can afford and really do decide to not be in debt.
But the stability of the United States is largely built on the middle class who are able to BORROW money to buy a home and obtain a permanent residence. It merely turned out that doing that was more of a slippery slope than we realized, and once borrowing, they couldn't "borrow just one" to paraphrase.

Interesting question and difficult to answer....
yes there is a lot of 'unnecessary' stuff out there it all depends on you're perpective,ie. ones mans rubbish anothers fortune.
What is you're cr*p?
Yes basic living could be an answer but not realistic, control of personal spending and waste could be a useful tool for all of but that revolution is pie in the sky as our national credit debt & rubbish clearly shows.
Perhaps a moneyless society could drive priorities in a different direction?

Too much cr@p is available, thats why. People are drawn to it like magnets. Trouble is, people get theirselves into debt so easily, by buying so much cr@p, so the shops thrive, the economy grows. If someone goes in and says 'hey stop selling all that crap, blah blah' are they really gonna listen? nooo the weight of their pockets has to come into account.
People need to realise they waste their money, jeez.

Although I agree completely with you, I'll be the first one to be cellophaned, as I just seem to get uncontrollable urges to spend my money on huge amounts of that brown stuff that you mention.
