Did you watch “Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy ” on Netflix?

As the frenzy of Black Friday approaches or rather Black Week, it's easy to get swept up in the promise of discounts and deals. But have you ever stopped to think about the true cost? Netflix’s new documentary "Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy" peels back the curtain on the world of overconsumption, exposing the environmental, social, and psychological toll of our shopping habits.

Before you hit "Add to Cart," read our latest article on why those irresistible bargains might not be such a steal after all: https://www.abillion.com/articles/true-cost-of-black-friday

There’s always a way to gift consciously. If you’re planning to shop, try to support ethical businesses or go for pre-loved items.

danielgl I saw it and it drove home once again the massive amount of waste generated worldwide - but the lies we're told about "recycling" were absolutely depressing!! Very much recommended and hopefully will help more people become more conscious before we destroy our home even more!1 likeReply
