The article deals with today’s issue of overconsumption and clearly states the difference of “green buying”. Its content about buying “green” made me contemplate what the real purpose of the “green” concept was. Even though it is a research article, the usage of repetition clearly emphasizes the authors point. The results of “life satisfaction [and] financial satisfaction” is repeated to demonstrate the importance of reduced consumption rather than being “environmentally friendly” and consuming the regular amount. Personally, the article is like an epiphany for me as I have never considered the quantitative aspect of “green buying”. The article is insightful as what we perceived to be beneficial for the environment is not to consumerism. The author’s multiple usage of quotes from different researchers and statistics support the statements. Through this descriptive strategy, the topic extrapolates to today’s overconsumption. With big corporations being a part of people’s lives, it is difficult for humans to be involved with the intangibles. Companies such as Amazon and Apple have a significant influence on lives obsessed with materialism. The temporary happiness people receive from products is an incessant incentive to continue that horrific cycle. This leads to a short usage of products which are thrown away and replaced with the new. Excessive consumption will eventually cause a world of wasteland portrayed in dystopian books such as Oryx and Crake. Always searching for the “new and better” will overpopulate society with junk. Even today, the result of overconsumption is unquestionably depicted by ocean pollution; moreover, deteriorating the environment and wildlife. People should reconsider what they purchase and think if it will really create the genuine warmth they desire.
