Overconsumption refers to the excessive use of resources, goods, or services beyond what is necessary or sustainable. This behavior can lead to environmental degradation, as it often results in the depletion of natural resources, increased waste, and higher carbon emissions. Overconsumption is commonly associated with consumer culture, where individuals prioritize material possessions and instant gratification over mindful consumption. The effects of overconsumption can be seen in various areas, including climate change, deforestation, and pollution. As people buy more than they need, the demand for production rises, putting pressure on ecosystems and contributing to global issues. Addressing overconsumption requires a shift towards sustainable practices and a focus on reducing waste.
