Subject: Increase in Consumerism and its consequences
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to draw attention to the rapidly growing problem of consumerism, which is negatively affecting the lives of many individuals. People are becoming trapped in a world of social one-upmanship and are being driven to purchase unnecessary luxury items, often leading to financial difficulties. This excessive consumption is also leading to environmental degradation and causing increased anxiety and mental health issues.
To overcome this problem, it is important for individuals to value their money and practice gratitude in their daily lives. Media can also play a crucial role in promoting a healthier perspective on life and discouraging unsustainable consumerism.
I request you to kindly publish this letter in your newspaper so that it can raise awareness about the negative effects of consumerism and encourage people to adopt a more responsible approach to their consumption habits.
Thanking you,
Your sincerely,
Renu/Rajan
