 As I showed you, consumerism causes several problems. I think that we have two choices to solve these problems. Firstly, to consider the solutions while admitting much consumption by people . Secondly, to preserve us from making much consumption . I'll show you these two ways! < Considering solutions while admitting much consumption>  We can recycle a lot of things, especially plastic garbage. As a big scale, EU is making the environment that can recycle plastic garbage by deciding quality standards of recycled plastics and announcing the guidelines. Japan is also taking various actions.

  <Definition of 'Consumerism'> Do you know "Consumerism"? Consumerism is the belief that it is good to buy and use a lot of goods and services. I chose this topic because Japanese people, including me, tend to be the one who live in the society of Consumerism. Also, I think most people don't realize that they are captured by consumerism. What is Consumerism? For example, ・buy clothes, shoes, and bags too much (more than the number you really put on) ・eat too much (more  than the amount you need to live) Think about yourself ! You may be captured by consumerism unknowingly. Consumerism causes pollution of environment and makes us forget the gratitude for things. However, breaking out consumerism is very difficult because the greed people have doesn't disappear...　 <Problems caused by Consumerism> Do you know what is the  Goal12 of SDGs  (Sustainable Development Goals) ? It is ' Responsible Production and Consumption' . Like this, we can get...
