Cutting Back: Insights from 'Buy Now'
Description
Today’s podcast covers the Netflix documentary Buy Now, a must-watch that dives deep into the tricks marketers use to get us to buy more and more. The film explores the cycle of overconsumption, the massive waste it generates, and the staggering amounts of unused or discarded products—everything from toys to electronics like phones, tablets, and TVs—piling up in landfills and polluting our oceans.
It also sheds light on how this waste is often exported to developing countries, creating toxic environments and harming vulnerable communities.
I highly recommend watching Buy Now. It’s not just eye-opening but also a call to action. Cutting back on consumption isn’t just good for the planet and future generations; it can also help your wallet. Hope you enjoy the episode!
