At What Cost? Consumerism vs Sustainability

This critical reflection will consider how our current lifestyles and the unsustainability of our consumer habits, and the energies required to power new technologies, are the biggest ignored threates to the environment and the continuation of the Earth. It will do so by examining the overwhelming rate at which new technologies are upgraded which consequently not only creates physical waste, but also mandates enormous energies to power them. By identifying why we consume and waste at our current rate, this reflection critically examines the impact our practices have on nature, wildlife and climate change and also the reason why we are doing very little to tackle it.
