SO, what is consumerism?
Consumerism is something that affects each and everyone one of us. The act of consumption is buying something or eating something, but consumerism, is the social ideology that encourages the acquisition of goods in ever increasing amounts. Consumerism encourages people to emphasize material wealth and monetary values as the only way to measure success; people desire to buy this or have that, even with stuff they don’t need.
Freeganism is a movement against the consumerism culture; freeganism started with people that were sick of the culture of being obsessed with material possessions and wealth. This sounds like the ideology of minimalism, but freegans deal with the same concepts in different ways.
