IDEAS Hive: Rethinking Consumerism and Our Role in the Supply Chain

IDEAS For Us

A presentation and discussion on the dark truths of our supply chain, how to opt out and shop more sustainable and ethical.

Center for Health and Wellbeing

In today's consumerist society, we are facing challenges such as overwhelming amounts of waste, unethical supply chains, and inequitable workers rights. Join IDEAS For Us and GoodFills for an eye-opening discussion on the hidden costs of consumerism and how we can transform our shopping habits for a more ethical and sustainable future.We’ll explore the immense scale of global supply chains, from production to disposal, and how most companies ignore the end-of-life impact of their products. This system disproportionately harms developing countries, where cheap labor is exploited and waste is dumped or burned. We’ll discuss how corporations manipulate consumer behavior, encouraging unnecessary purchases, and how we can break free from this cycle. Learn practical ways to shop smarter, and hear from GoodFills about how they provide an alternative to wasteful consumerism through refillable and reusable products. After the presentation, we’ll engage in a discussion on creating systemic change and holding corporations accountable for ethical and sustainable practices.Come out to learn, connect, and share your ideas for how to create a greener future!
