Lead[edit]
Post-consumerism is a view or ideology that well-being, as distinct from material success, is the aim of life.[1][2] Post-consumerism can also be viewed as moving beyond the current model of addictive consumerism.[3] This personal and societal strategy utilizes each individual's core values to identify the "satisfaction of enough for today."[4] The intent and outcome of this basic strategy to date has "reached people where they are rather than simply where we are."[2] Post-consumerism recognizes the negative effects of consumerism on individuals and the environment.[5][6] Copied from original article and edited.
Definition[edit]
Post-consumerism advocates that well-being is up to the individual, rather than consumer goods.[2] Post-consumerism is when people purchase goods when deemed appropriate, versus purchasing goods because influenced by outside factors, such as: advertising media.[7]
Individual Effects[edit]
Post-consumerism views consumerism as a form of exploitation because of the constant need for more and lack of free time.[5] It is argued by post-consumerists that personal success is currently associated with working full time and the goods purchased, rather than leisure time and being fulfilled with what an individual already has.[5]
Environmental Effects[edit]
Post-consumerists argue that consumerism has a negative effect on the environment through the production and transportation of goods; thus, advocating for the environment through the promotion of local goods and self-fulfilment.[5]
