    Yesterday I gave you a climate change set of links. This one is themed too. No surprise it’s consumerism!

    • Would you take more care with your unwanted electronics if you knew they were poisoning African children 
    • There is a place called Garbage City and it’s what happens when we can’t control our rubbish
    • Which is why you should get rid of useless crap (and other reasons too)
    • Gerald Hiestand has a poem on the poison of materialism 
    • Mark Meynell shows up the difference between kingdom and corporate culture

    • Andy Lowe quotes Adrian Beard on advertising 
    • McMurray does a good job of adbusting a very expensive Christmas 
    • Jeremy points out that despite massive economic growth there are more poor people in Britain now than before the boom
