This also helps them to drive down costs, but ultimately reduces the quality of products and services leading to widespread consumer dissatisfaction.]]> 2022-02-03 16:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_tomczyk/qhty1fdb6h31m3fg/wish/2027936744 https://padlet.com/claire_tomczyk/qhty1fdb6h31m3fg/wish/2027938403 Big corporations mass produce their products which will eventually be thrown away in landfills. For example, one cotton t-shirt uses 2,700 litres of water.

The way the consumer society is working is not sustainable. We are currently overusing Earth's natural resources by more than 70 percent. And the number of people in the consumer class is growing.
