DÉSAMORCER L’IMPÉRATIF DE CONSOMMATION : CHANGER NOS COMPORTEMENTS ET NOTRE IDENTITÉ

Comment aider les gens à remettre en question un système économique qui valorise le fait d’acheter toujours plus ? Comment, a contrario, mettre en avant ces individus qui ont décidé de rejeter un mode de vie hautement dépendant du carbone, et offrir une vision positive de la sobriété ? L’objectif de cette thématique consistera à élaborer des tactiques créatives afin de changer de perspective et de démonter les fondamentaux d’un hyper-capitalisme sponsorisé par les marques.
