Welcome to Prime Day, when thousands of product thumbnails blur together to form a giant pile of garbage

I love a sale – but scrolling the list of Amazon’s deals is overwhelming to the point of delirium

Speaking at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Tianjin on Wednesday, Li reiterated Beijing’s commitment to boosting demand in the world’s second-largest economy and defending globalisation.

“This will make China a mega-sized consumption powerhouse, on top of being a manufacturing powerhouse,” Li said at the gathering, also known as Summer Davos.

@kristiedegaris I've not flown except for work since 1975, and not at all since 2008. There are lots of places around the world that I've never seen and would like to see, and places I have been I'd like to revisit. But these are not big wants. There are also places within cycling distance I've not seen. I'm not persuaded that flying does enhance life much.

And, as you say, the planet cannot afford it.

@thomasembree this I very strongly believe. Our obsession with acquiring and hoarding things we do not need is destroying the planet on which we depend.

Libraries are an example of how we don’t need to own everything individually when we have a public system for sharing them. We need to reduce consumption (including sadly books) but we can do it in a way that still enables us to enjoy them #Libraries #Overconsumption #Books
