Consumed: A Marketplace Special Report

"Is our consumer society sustainable?" As far as I'm concerned, this is a ridiculous rhetorical question, but probably worth adressing, even for left-leaning NPR listeners.

You can check out Consumed on Marketplace. Segments include:

• What hungry consumerism leaves behind
  
• Why buy new when used will do?
  
• Greed as a disease
  
• Taxing ourselves green
