Consumerism Faith and Consumerism Consumerism identifies a lifestyle in which a large number of individuals obtain more than is needed, more than is necessary for fulfillment, and more than God's Earth can sustain. Because consumerism intensifies pollution and resource depletion leading to an immense degradation of God's creation, this lifestyle is at the heart of what Christians are called to question and confront. As people of faith, we understand our responsibilities to protect the sacred gifts given by God and to be good stewards of these gifts. How we live our lives and make purchasing decisions have profound environmental and justice impacts on God's creation.
