r/Anticonsumption is a sub primarily for criticizing and discussing consumer culture. This includes but is not limited to material consumption, the environment, media consumption, and corporate influence.

Basic Rules

Be nice. Polite discussion is encouraged. No flame wars please.
Do not criticize the lifestyle of other users (unless you are requested to.) If you see a violation of this rule, report it.
No meta criticism of the sub. After several inane meta posts, I've decided to just slap them down before the malcontents pile in with more nonsense.
No Spam, etc. etc. ad nauseum
Don't post pictures of other people's collections. Do not brigade other subreddits.
Please don't post requests for suggested items or brands. That isn't in the purview of this subreddit. Please report any such posts and they will be removed.
