What is consumption?

Consumption is when you use things to make your life better or more fun.

Imagine you have a big bag of chips. Eating those chips is like consumption, you're using the chips to feel happy and satisfied. Just like how you eat snacks, people around the world use different things every day to enjoy life.

People consume many kinds of things:

• Food, like your lunch or snack
• Clothes, like your favorite shirt or pants
• Toys, like your favorite game or stuffed animal
• Services, like going to the park or getting a haircut

Each time you use something, that's consumption happening right in front of you!

We consume because we want to be happy, comfortable, and ready for new adventures. Whether it’s eating a delicious meal or playing with your favorite toy, consumption is part of how we enjoy life every day.
