Living in a materialistic world where people are constantly consuming new products, wether that be buying the latest and most trendiest article of clothing because it is trending on social media or getting the latest technology because advertisements state that you "need" it other wise your life will suck without it. But in reality you don't actually need , for say a new apple watch because advertising said that its the next best thing to having an ordinary watch. Personally I get a new device when it completely stops working ,(which is like more than 2 years) if not there is no need to get a brand new device. A way that we could break or habits is by not believing all marketing and the temptation of wanting to get something new because it is "trending"

another cool way to "break that habit" is when songs come out like "thrift shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.  They singlehandedly made thrift stores (and hence reusing stuff) hip for a lot of young people!
