Cape Town - We all have stuff we don’t need. Why do we buy these things in the first place?
We all have basic needs: shelter, food, security, warmth. If we didn’t somehow provide for these basic needs, we probably wouldn’t live very long.
But open the cupboards of most working people and you are likely to be confronted with a heap of stuff they bought, but never use: endless white T-shirts, shoes that were on sale, clothes with price tags still on them, toys the kids don’t play with, DVDs, gadgets, small kitchen appliances, endless magazines (many of them unread) – the list goes on. And, unfortunately it doesn’t stop with small things.
