Activism

Anticonsumerism questions whether we as a society really need all our gadgets like hairdryers and whatnot; shows how advertising cons us into buying things we don't really need and don't ultimately make us happy; and asks whether "economic growth" really equates with "progress", or whether it just means ever-increasing environmental destruction.
