Nowadays, advertisements surround us from every direction. We are constantly encouraged to purchase items we would never have considered needing. A simple online search on our mobile devices triggers an avalanche of offers and eye-catching images that eventually persuade us to make unnecessary purchases, whether they be gadgets, clothing, or accessories.

The 'AntiConsumption' online community fights against consumerism, one post at a time. Its members share insightful content that inspires us to change our habits and reduce the accumulation of goods simply because they were suggested, rather than because we genuinely need them.

Some of my clothes have been in my wardrobe for a decade. As long as it fits, both size and personal style wise, I'm happy with it. Otherwise it goes to donations.

Those babies were put together back then. Clothing (and other items) were made to last, be repaired, and go on some more.

Yup! I had a leather jacket (second hand) and wore it till it literally fell apart. Over the 20ish years I had it I cleaned it and repaired it until it was more repairs than original. Had to eventually put it out of its misery - the lining, padding and stitching were destroyed. Ended up using the leather to make sheaths for some of knives.

I wear my stuff out until it doesn't fit, or my style changes in like 4 years (by then it will probably by too small or too big) so yeah! I'll wear the same shirt for 3 times a week, who can stop me?

You should buy good stuff, according to what you can afford but good, and wear it until it doesn't look ok. I mean, I'd rather have one good pair of warm winter boots then four pairs of rubbish, and I wear them several winters until they start to look "too worn". Sane with t-shirts and clothes in general, good quality lasts much longer. Also, if you look after your clothes, choosing the right program in the washing machine, using soft soap and separating light and dark colours they last longer in good shape.

The fashion industry is responsible for a very large fraction of the waste that we produce. They have a constant need for things to change, so they can sell more. But don't give into that scam that plays on group pressure. Instead you should be smart and realise that there are certain items that is evergreens (like a quality dress shirt, in a muted colour and with kind of simple pattern like stribes or a checkered pattern), of which you can build a wardrobe that can last for years, while you avoid the cheap fast fashion items.

Yes! You should wear it until it starts falling apart. That's the normal thing to do! And if you really like switching clothing styles, go to swap meets or donate some of your clothes to a second hand shop and buy yourself some new ones at that second hand shop.

Just lost some weight, and my jeans are almost fashionable they have so many holes and tatters. I went to buy some jeans - and It has been so long it really sucked. $80 for a pair of jeans that have more holes than the ones I am replacing? Then went to a store that you can not try on the clothes, you have to purchase and return. Nudist colony anyone? ( seeing me naked is no treat - trust me)

I've had several pairs of underwear for 2.5 decades. Cracks my boyfriend up! Sure, I'm ready to get a whole new wardrobe of them now but I reckon they'll go for another few decades. And mind you, these were none of them overly expensive. Also, the longer you have the clothes you love, the more new combinations you'll find... (but that might just be me). And lastly; I'm not concerned with wearing something new every time I get seen in public. All my pieces hold special value and memories for me and I'm happy to re-wear them anytime it feels good. I Love searching for treasure in thrift stores, I find something new that I really want once or twice a year and just leave it at that. As I get older I have accumulated more clothes but whenever I fall out of love and if the garment is still in good shape, I try to make someone else happy with that piece so it'll have a whole new life! 💜✨

Yes! You should buy well-made apparel that isn't in the craziest are if 'what's in', take care of it, modify it if necessary...and wear it until it threatens to fall off your body! 'Fast fashion' - stuff that is trendy, cheap, and cheaply made is incredibly wasteful and absolutely s****y for the environment Not to mention the (mostly) Asians who work in sweatshops 12 -.14.hours a day for pennies an hour. I really am seeing that my generation is the last generation who were raised by parents and gra dparent who survived the Great Depression. Those that came after, although amazing in many ways, is incredibly wasteful.

I realized a couple days ago that the pants I was repairing were over 15 years old (I actually have two identical pairs bought around 2009). I've had to repair the seams a couple times, but the fabric is still fine, though since they don't fit like they used to, I should probably get some replacements at some point.

Yes, not only do I only buy clothes that are durable, but also comfortable, easy maintenance and should also attempt to be ______ proof, as in water-proof, fire-proof, cut and stab-proof, bullet-proof, runover by a car-proof; basic injury-proof. If it's ugly and it prevents me from getting into fancy restaurants and clubs when I wear it, then I consider that a bonus.

I started buying Docs for my daughter a couple of years ago. We don't have a vehicle, so quality shoes are a requirement. They're great because by the time she's outgrown them, they barely look worn and get passed down to her cousin, who then passes them down to my son. One pair of shoes for 3 kids;; mind-blowing quality.

Lots of my "fashion-wise" regularly swoon over items I wear. "Where did you buy it, tell me, tell me, omg this qualitiiiiieeee!!!". 30 to 45 years ago..... Since the mid-1900eds, every style repeats itself every 10 to 15 years. Stay on weight, buy quality, take care of it and add classic, simple items in plain colors. It takes 15 years to build up a solid clothing collection. Rent or borrow your dresses for one-time extravaganzas

In order to gain a better understanding of the psychological aspects of the consumerism issue that people face, we have reached out to a clinical psychologist based in the UK, Michaela Thomas. The founder of The Thomas Connection shared with us some insight based directly on her clinical experience.

We wanted to know if Thomas has encountered cases of compulsive or addictive consumption behaviors in her research or practice. We found out that: “Yes, I have clients in my clinic who can compulsively overspend or purchase items they don't need. It's important to understand the root cause behind this behavior, as it changes the treatment. If it is an acquisition behavior as part of hoarding, where someone collects more and more things, and at the same time struggles to let go of things they already have, even if they seem to serve no purpose to others, then that consumption builds up into other problems, like cluttering, unhygienic homes, and arguments with loved ones.”

The psychologist told us about other, more complex instances: “If overspending is due to lack of financial planning, or wanting the dopamine kick of how good it feels to purchase something, that can be linked to ADHDdepressionmaniapsychosis, or other dopamine-related issues. In ADHD, it can be really hard to resist sponsored content like Facebook ads or TV ads, telling you to get this thing NOW, in order to feel happier, or because otherwise there is a sense of FOMO, if you don't have this thing NOW.”

This Small Act Of Kindness Can Make Such A Huge Difference! Love To See It

This Small Act Of Kindness Can Make Such A Huge Difference! Love To See It

Asked what the psychological benefits of adopting a minimalist or simple living lifestyle are and how individuals can cultivate contentment and satisfaction with less, Michela Thomas explained: “Psychologically, it can feel a lot less overwhelming in your day-to-day with less visual clutter. It is easier to organize ourselves and find things day-to-day with fewer belongings. If we keep buying more and more, we can find ourselves less satisfied with the things we already have, or now get. Often there is a mismatch between the pursuing and the consuming of something we buy - that we focus so much on acquiring things that we don't have enough time sitting in the appreciation of what we've got. If we buy something less rarely and learn the art of mindfully savoring something after we have got it, we might feel more content and grateful for what we have. Having less is more, and doing less is also more.”

Lastly, we were wondering how parents and educators can teach children and adolescents about responsible consumption and develop their critical thinking skills regarding advertising and consumer culture. The clinical psychologist told us: “It's helpful to engage children in the eco perspective of how fast fashion or mindless consumption impacts the environment, understanding the impact of using non-renewable resources. We can do that without creating eco-anxiety by showing in a neutral way that we try to reduce single-use plastic, or borrow books from the library instead of just buying new ones, or taking them to second-hand shops for toys and clothes. It then becomes part of their normal, just like we brush our teeth or look both ways before crossing the street - ingrained habits. In my child's school, they have an eco council where children can volunteer to take part and review the school's practices around sustainability, and come up with bright ideas. The children are our future, let them be part of designing it (in an age-appropriate way).”

well and your very tweet is for your influence, not for the planet. Ppl in some countries tend to not see that there's something in between black and white when it comes to electric cars. And that there are many benefits of an electric car besides causing way less CO2 than conventional cars in their lifetimes (even if battery was produced with conventional power mix). Sure, car industry makes a good deal, too, what's bad about this? They employ many workers, too.

Capitalism is just a form of power and power will twist anything. They've twisted beauty for power. However, ugly and beautiful are real things. No one made a dime off the beauty of a sparkling mountain lake or the hideousness of a blobfish. Regardless of how attractive each is, both are still vital to this world and deserve to be appreciated and respected. We need to refuse to let power tell us otherwise. Same thing with people.

Reduce consumption is a great idea but buy nothing is impossible. The thread on this cross-stitch required someone to grow cotton to make both the thread and the cloth. Someone else had to spin it into threads and then make it into cloth. A bunch of miners had to get the steel to make the needle for it. Someone had to grow food to feed all those people. That's a lot of people buying things just to survive and feed their families so one person can make an art piece on a wall. Art is what makes life worth living and a lot people depend on each other so an artist can afford both the materials and time to make it.

It makes sense to me that there are no comments on this yet. This is the same emotional manipulation that goes on BP continually, every day. Some people tend to look at one aspect and then forgive the evilness of the rest. They can't think more than 1 step ahead and are unable to see that how what they believe to be "kind" or "right" is actually the first step in an inevitable process that leads down a terrible path.

This image and statement get used on BP a lot. No, this isn't what's happening at all. This isn't a tree with Christmas lights, for the Christmas season. This is a tree that is always lit, every single night. When the light strand breaks, they cut it off and put on a new one. They're not cutting off lights that are good and work. Don't believe the BP lies.

This is not a new marketing technique. This is the foundation of all advertising for anything other than necessities.

Same. I got a free bbq from someone who was giving it away for free. Spent €50 on it to repair and improve it. Been using it since 4 years now.

I'm surprised this isn't voted higher. Watched a video yesterday on how to save money. It was all "hacks" that had to do with buying something on Amazon to somehow make it cheaper.

One day people will realize they need to look at the weight/volume of a product and not the packaging. Until then, we'll keep seeing this image and any of the numerous potato chip bag images BP authors subject us to.

Not sure why this isn't higher, it needs to be upvoted. WaPo is owned by Bezos, who owns Amazon. He's made no secret that WaPo pushes stories that benefit Amazon and other businesses. Go read what WaPo has to say about personal privacy and Alexa.

That's on the parents, not Disney. No one is twisting their arms and making them go. This is a huge problem in this Country. It's called scapegoating, blaming an outside entity instead of taking responsibility for your own actions.

There was 3 of us growing up. The big present under the tree every couple years or so was for all of us. It was a console with an extra controller. It was labelled for all of us. 2 controllers, 3 kids. We either played with winner stays on, or if it was a different type of game we took turns and played at different times 🤷

Sorry, but that's just bragging about how cool that person is. No books? Nothing to be creative? It's okay when one doesn't need 'fluff', but don't force your lifestyle on others. I happen to like the old glass bowl heirloom. This edgelord here can STFU.
