Does America have a Throw Away Society?

Since the name of "Life" magazine since 1955, the United States has been called "society of swallowing". In the United States, society is based on the principle of convenience. In every aspect of life, Americans are trying to maximize their production while minimizing investment in Americans who buy fast food. Americans dry clean their clothes, so you do not have to worry about washing, drying and wearing clothes.

So what is this book about society? Basically, we abandon society. Our logo is a cheap item, or a product lost compared to repair. We tend to buy that non - deposit / non - existent world, and when it is over, we discard it in the trash can. The author is talking about payment / redemption law in several states and municipalities. She also pointed out that the returned containers are usually used for crushers (for glasses) or smelters (for aluminum cans). (I remember the 24 long chumice beer which disappeared in the 1990s, so what is the title of the country's western song to commemorate their annihilation, "Are all the dragon necks disappearing?" )

In a consuming society, people exchange their goods with new ones. They buy items, use them, and throw them away. New products will be replaced with new items as they become older. Maintenance problems did not occur when people had enough money to buy goods. Otherwise, it will cause depression and depression, leading to unemployment. People's lifestyle is also changing. Because they do not focus on simplicity, they are filled with more luxurious and material fun. Oriental spiritualism and philosophy have always emphasized simplicity. Gandhi's principles and values ​​are non-materialistic lifestyles. Even famous saints such as Jiddu Krishnamurthi celebrate the simplicity of their lifestyle and thoughts.
