**Consumerism: **
Webster's dictionary defines Consumerism as "the promotion of the consumer's interests" or alternately "the theory that an increasing consumption of goods is economically desirable". It is thus the opposite of anti-consumerism or of producerism.  ==//Goal: To stop consumers from purchasing unnecessary items (luxury items)which damages the environment // == 
 * Anti-consumerism is the socio-political movement against consumerism. In this meaning, consumerism is the equating of personal happiness with the purchasing material possessions and consumption.
 * <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">In relation to producerism, it is the belief that the free choice of consumers should dictate the economic structure of a society, rather than the interests of producers. It can also refer to economic policies that place an emphasis on consumption. (Wikipedia, 2000)
