"we are running out of resources. We are using too much stuff. in the past 3 decades alone, 1/3 of our plants resources have been used".
Consumption Trends
Peanut butter is so well liked and known that they don't need ads for it.
Consumption Phase
I've never seen ads for peanut butter before so the only reason I buy it is beacause I like it
Environmental Impacts
I've found some ads on youtube and most of them seem to be from the 80s-90s.
"Our primary identity has become that of being consumers. 99% of the stuff that we harvest, mine, process and transport is trash within 6 months."
"The goal is to keep the prices down, keep people buying and keep inventory moving. Externailzel cost means that real costs of making stuff aren't captued in the price."
Some of the biggest Environmental Impacts I could find for my product were: Land use, Deforestation, water usage, pesticides, fertilizers, energy consumption, and packaging waste.
After use the plastic jars go to an incinrator.
