*CONSUMERISM*
Narratress of archived footage:
3,000 adverts bombard us every day, telling us we'd be happier and more attractive if only we'd buy their product. Together they create within us an insatiable desire to buy more and more stuff. Americans have been advertized at longest, and they now each consume twice as much energy as a European, nine times more than a Chinese person, and 50 times as much as someone from Kenya.
