Overconsumption

Overconsumption refers to the excessive use of resources and goods beyond what is sustainable or necessary. This behavior can lead to environmental degradation, such as climate change and resource depletion, as well as negative social impacts like inequality and waste. Overconsumption is often fueled by consumer culture, where individuals feel compelled to buy more than they need, driven by advertising, trends, and social status. Addressing overconsumption involves promoting mindful consumption, sustainability, and responsible choices to create a healthier planet and society for future generations.
