Overconsumption and the Climate Crisis

Online Event

About this Event

This webinar will be interpreted into Arabic
Led by Iman Awadh, Saliha Wade, Amel Boucetta and Elaine Sheppard
Overconsumption plays a major role in depleting natural resources, increasing pollution, destroying natural habitats, and reducing biodiversity. It also has far-reaching negative social and economic consequences.
Capitalism depends on and flourishes through overconsumption, with greed driving this dynamic. Products are often manufactured and marketed with little regard for the environmental or human cost.
In this webinar we will shed light on the damaging effects of overconsumption on both the environment and consumers.
Through listening exchanges, we will increase our personal awareness of our habits of consuming and increase our ability to change. This can help us to lead others to make the changes needed to create an economic system that works for all of us and for the planet.
