Join us for the next CoHo Book Club, where we’ll dive into Consumed: A Call to Action for Consumers Everywhere by Aja Barber. In a world overflowing with stuff, Barber challenges us to rethink our relationship with consumption. Consumed asks us to look critically at how and why we buy what we buy, how it’s created, who benefits, and the consequences of a wasteful system.
Barber’s powerful narrative exposes the deep-rooted injustices in our consumer industries, from the historical ties to slavery and racism to the environmental crisis we face today. She invites us to unlearn the patterns of consumption that fill our lives, urging us to choose compassion over consumerism.
This thought-provoking read will spark an important conversation about the changes we can make as individuals to challenge a system that profits from overreach and exploitation. Let’s come together to discuss how we can be citizens, not just consumers.
Whether you’ve read the whole book or just a few chapters, we’d love for you to join us. Bring your thoughts, questions, and an open mind as we explore the themes of Consumed and what they mean for our lives and our world.
