Belgium Young People's Interfaith Statement on Consumerism




Young people from different religions and faiths,

WAKE UP!


It’s time for us to take action for our EARTH.


Society becomes more and more materialistic. Consumption will become Super-consumption, and Hyper-consumption, which will engender a bigger gap between rich and poor, leading to the disappearance of the middle-class.






Why shouldn't we show the example by?


-- Acting NOW;
-- Keeping a critical eye on the media;
-- Refusing the publicity;
-- Asking yourselves this question in front of a consumer good: do I really need it?


WHY SHOULDN'T WE SPEND OUR MONEY IN AN INTELLIGENT WAY?
