National Public Radio has been providing different views about our consumer society under the title" Consumed Is our consumer society sustainable?" On its web site npr states the objectives of the series as: "...Is our consumer society sustainable? Marketplace and American Public Media take on that question in this special series. We follow consumerism from its origins to its dominance in the world's economy and, arguably, its culture. And we examine how, and if, it might be adapted to reduce its destructive consequences while keeping store shelves stocked."
Audio reports, web stories and blogs are dealing with the effects consumption is having on individuals, families, regions, nations, environments. It tells stories like how a Chinese woman gained a net worth of $10 billion with our garbage or how a country, Bhutan, which was closed off from the rest of the world changed since they opened their doors seven years ago.
