Culture of Consumers
by
Micah White
The fabric of our existence is sewn with the items that we purchase and the technologies we adopt. Like fish in water, we hardly recognize how the mental and physical environment we live in is shaping the way we think and operate within our world. How do we recognize the toxins in our world that fight against being truly human? Writer and activist Micah White states that we must begin to "celebrate a new aesthetic that cherishes subsistence over surplus, local over national and play over work." The myth of consumerism is that 'more is better'. "But to this lie, we will with great strength respond that only by consuming less can we live more."

Loved to read your blog. I would like to suggest you that traffic show most people read blogs on Mondays. So it should encourage blogger to write new write ups over the weekend primarily.
