Saved this survey from some beauty blog a while ago. People don’t need that many products to look decent. I look decent. It’s all chemicals anyway. I don’t think chemicals on skin will make the skin look better. I think a healthy nutrient source is the key to have a healthy body and if you don’t have a healthy body no peeling in the world will peel that off.
Also a lot of these are just trickeries. You use one and end up having to use 5 more to correct what the first one did to you. I used to have to use both shampoo, conditioner & hair spray to make my hair look exactly the same as it does when I only use the cheapest shampoo on the market. That is because the products leave traces in your hair that makes it look weird & get greasy fast. When you clean them out and use a shampoo with few different things in it it will be clean and look as it should without all that crap.
There are like 35 items on this list. If each thing on average is 100 kr, that is 3.500 kr worth of pretty useless things, if you buy more “fancy” things maybe it’s about 10.000 kronors worth of nothing.

Sadly, I don’t think any of that will ever get through to people who do use their cellphones for less than a year. Obviously, they just (unconsciously) see that as either a toy or ‘look at me I can afford this and therefore I am better than you’ (I know there’s a term for that but I forgot XD). Which is just all kinds of sad.

I think that sense can always get through to people!

Even if we just use our cellphones for one year (I am probably one of those), the most important to know is that a cellphone can be recycled or reused. And that you dont always need to charge the phone and when your not charging it, dont have the charger pluged in.
