Lesson 19: Consumerism



In this lesson, you will learn about how humans are consumers. This basically means that we use our environment to get the things that we need to survive. You will also learn the difference between a want and a need and why many people strive to get so many of the things they desire and don't just focus on basic needs such as food, shelter, water, and heat.
