      Still consumerism. The acquisition of goods and services, especially beyond what’s required for survival.

      And, even buying secondhand doesn’t eliminate impacts from consumerism. It reduces the amount of available secondhand goods, which means someone else that could otherwise buy secondhand is now forced to buy new.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad people are buying secondhand, but it’s not a solution when demand is ever-increasing.
