If we as a society became less focused with material belonging and focused on making necessary products sustainable we could waste a lot less labor and plastic materiel.

Although the authorities are taking action, we should still strive harder in order to support and actually make this cause happen. We should take more responsibility of our surroundings and our behaviors. E.g. the 3Rs.

Might be off topic, but still on the idea of consumerism.

I recently saw someone say, "There are men making money off of my insecurities...[societal beauty standards] make us think that there is something inherently wrong with the way we are, and the way we look, so companies can present a "solution"... So you are forever spending money on something that was never broken."

That thought made me quite frustrated because not only are they making money on insecurities that they have assigned us, but they are also polluting our planet throughout this process. The amount of energy and fuel it takes to run machines, make the product, package it, ship it, for it to then be thrown away again is so unnecessary. Plastic especially makes me frusterated since it can't be safely returned back to the earth.

Does anyone know a good website, brand, or store that might make everyday items or skincare products with less packaging, sustainably, or just better than everywhere else?

Feel free to share what items you use and throw away most and see if others might have a solution for you!

I concur. Young people are especially obsessed of owning clothing that is made my fancy brands. They want to fit in so desperately that they just mimic everyone else and buy the same brands in stead of shopping in thrift shops and buying used clothes.

Honestly, it's sad to see that this is the reality we now live in. As someone who enjoys thrifting for clothes, I can say there are a great deal  items of clothing that are of great quality. Not only is thrifting more affordable, but there is a lot more variety than buying from a trendy brand that will soon loose popularity in a few years. Although it's great to see advancements in fashion, I don't encourage people dressing how other people dress, because you just want to be accepted in society. I believe that fashion is a way for people to express themselves by the way they present themselves. I hope that  more people will learn to find the courage to be themselves, even if they stand out.

yes, I think you are absolutely right! Everone should start  with small steps and small steps can make a difference.
