This sparked an interesting discussion of reddit about the speed of our society. Many people commented that they had witnessed wildlife, birds and smaller animals like hares, returning to cities as they stand still due to the pandemic.
I think there's a meaningful discussion to be had about the amount of things people buy today, and how that maybe just isn't necessary anymore. While it is true that a lot of blame can be put on companies promoting such rampant consumerism, wherever it be fashion or tech, it's also true that people keep buying stuff.
This isn't a singular problem, in fact it's a problem that's intertwined with lot of different problems. While a decent chunk of people have begun paying attention to what they buy, where it comes from and how it affects the planet and the people that make it, it's still a problem that only people with enough disposable income can even worry about such things.
Maybe we'll learn something from this crisis, but somehow I doubt it.
