If people focus on the difference between their true needs and desires, they can successfully overcome over-consumerism. We have to consider our habits when it comes to consumerism. If we simply buy anything we want, it causes a lot of damage to our environment and depletes our resources. When we try to be more informed and careful, we can slowly become more mindful about consumerism.
