The Monster Mall

For the first time, in a long time, I stepped foot into a shopping mall.

It is a curious thing to be inside of, I think. So many colours, lights, smells, people, things...

It is like a religious place, you know? Somewhere where people gather together, to worship and idolize the things that they are buying. Sometimes I go into a mall with no intention of buying something and come out a hundred dollars poorer...

Why?

We are so easily lured into consumption; it is all we do. It got me thinking, how much do humans consume and out of all the stuff that we buy, how much of it lasts and how much of it ends up in our ever-growing landfills?

Check out this video, kind of long (20 minutes), but well worth the watch! It is extremely enlightening to see how much we consume and how our purchasing habits affect the Earth.
