Mary Robinson,
Devin T. Stewart

"Consumerism" by Anjana Aravind | 02/21/13
"I live in a small town in India. People have a notion that consumerism is a "first-world" problem but it is not. Wherever you come from, people measure wealth by how big your cars are and how many things you own. The richer you are, the more waste you generate.
