Internet Proves a Tool for Greener, Cleaner Commerce
by admin, 664 viewsDuring this holiday shopping season, a heck of a lot of people are using the Internet to indulge their consumer tendencies. Some others, including my wife and I, are trying to use technology in a different way– to turn against consumerism.
Lisa and I first heard about the Compact, a group of people who swore off buying nearly any new products for a year, on public radio. But the group, which launched about a year ago, has spread its anti-consumerist message through a blog and a super-active e-mail discussion list.
The group’s founders started it for a number of reasons: to simplify their lives, to reduce waste and clutter in their lives, and to strike back against the modern throw-away culture, where even expensive products like computers, television sets and kitchen appliances get discarded after a few years. The group wanted to “go beyond recycling in trying to counteract the negative global environmental and socioeconomic impacts of U.S. consumer culture, to resist global corporatism, and to support local businesses, farms, etc.,” according to the Compact blog.

This is first time in my life when I don’t know what to say. After reading all comments I’m shocked. What has happened with our society, with our young generation? They are commenting terrible information, their lexis sounds terrible. Is that true, that only words they know is “cool”, “cute” and cussing words? What are they thinking of? It’s better not to think about it, it’s too sad
