"Marketers have so mesmerized consumers that consumers see brand logos as their own logos, their new flags. Today the brand is the new nation, the new army, the new clan, the new religion, the new tribe.Consumers by the billions line up behind their new logos, vanish into logos, pour their income into brands.
"Yet they discard almost as fast as they consume. And certainly as much. ... Thousands of tons of garbage is collected each day just in New York City."
From The Scavenger's Manifesto, by Anneli Rufus and Kristan Lawson.
