Unfortunately many products that “make people happy” are nothing more than plastic trash pollution. How many resources have been used and how much damage done to ship plastic trash across oceans, that doesn’t even do anything?

Consumerism also doesn't really make people happy in the same way alcohol isn't a cure for depression. It's a short term rush that leaves you in a deeper more empty pit after.
