❶  Think, for a moment, about something you bought that you never ended up using.  

 

❷ An item of clothing you never ended up wearing?  

❸ A book you never read?   

❹  Some piece of electronic equipment  that never even made it out of the box?  

 

 

 

❺ It is estimated that Australians alone spend on average $10.8 billion AUD (approximately $9.99 billion USD) every year on goods they do not use 

— more than the total government spending on universities and roads.  

 

❻ That is an average of $1,250 AUD (approximately $1,156 USD) for each household.  

 

❼ All the things we buy that then just sit there gathering dust are waste 

—   a waste of money, a waste of time, and waste in the sense of pure rubbish. 

 

 

❽ As the author Clive Hamilton observes,               

     ‘The difference between the stuff we buy and what we use is waste.’.
