What does it mean to be a consumer in 2021? And when did "consumption" become a dirty word? Consume This unpacks the big issues facing New Zealanders today: from fast fashion and the housing market, to the world of data privacy and more.
Join hosts Consumer NZ CEO Jon Duffy and social good champion Sophie Richardson as they tackle the burning issues of our time with expert guest commentators and everyday New Zealanders.

We regularly hear through the media that farting cows are melting the ice caps, so are climate change concerns driving us to eat less flesh? If the answer is yes, are meat alternatives any better for the environment?
Is it harder than ever to buy a first home? (Short answer: yes, obviously.) We look at why home ownership is so important to us, what’s happening with the market, and what the future of home ownership could look like in New Zealand.
Fast fashion gets a bad name when it comes to sustainability. With a dizzying number of brands like H&M and ASOS releasing “sustainable” and “conscious” clothing lines, is it possible to make environmentally friendly purchases that don't hurt the hip pocket?

I personally support the use of Te Reo. What I am not sure about is whether it was my hearing and Sophie dropped the F bomb (or something sounding like it) at the end of the episode on housing when describing how hard it is to save. It may have been an unfortunate expletive and whilst I am not averse to it in general, it does have a time and a place - just not in this forum.
Otherwise, this is a great initiative.
