This makes me think about what are the most data-driven, individualised driver of consumption - social networks based ad networks; and how they could be redesigned to help reduce unnecessary consumption in a personalised way (important since sustainability is different for each individual depending on location and what’s available as locally as possible).

One of the design change could be _‘no paid ads_’, which would incentivise a sustainable consumption overtime by giving local producers more chance to meet local consumption needs (rather than be out competed by non-local producers who could _pay_ to sell).

[Here’s an idea (grove post)](https://grove.rainmatter.org/t/alternatives-to-social-platforms-are-crucial-for-climate-action-by-the-larger-economy/1884) on how open-source social platforms can help with consumption during climate crisis.

I hope this helps. 😃
