Hyperconsumerism

Hyperconsumerism means buying too many things. It means buying things that you don't need, or buying too much of something. It can be dangerous because it leads to waste and can be expensive. It can also be bad for the environment because it leads to the overuse of natural resources like trees and oil. That can lead to air and water pollution and problems with the climate.
