Best Buy

So many things you wish to buy, but so little money and room space?

Shopping centers and online shops are loaded with new shiny things we wish to buy.

But really. We should stop restless, compulsive, and unfulfilled consumerism.

Without taking a conscious step forward, we won't ever use more than 50% of our commodities.

Does our "more and more" mentality even make us happy anymore? The shopping excitement usually wears off within a day.

And often, careless shopping leaves traces of environmental damage, an unethical workforce, and unnecessary waste of energy.
