Post Consumerism is becoming more and more a part of daily lives, although this is a new recent way of thinking. It’s introducing an ‘eco friendly’ approach, taking more time to think before buying. A bit like a reflector! Instead of a person being influenced by advertisements, peers and trends, purchasing items/objects even though they don’t need it but only just ‘want it’, they consider their options and buy quality rather than quantity so it lasts for a longer period of time.
A post consumer will identify what they need and buy because it’s an essential! Price doesn’t matter because they want to use it over and over again and re-cycle rather than chucking it away. They will think about many different subjects within their daily routines and chose the one which impacts the environment the least.
In our groups we all chose a subject to gather images from, mines was transport. I got images for bicycles which create no carbon emissions, cars with no road tax, looked at increasing petrol prices, public transport to explore the best way to create a profile for a post consumer.
