Consumption Without End is a concept album about the negative environmental impacts of consumerism and all which it entails.

Humanity mines, drills, and blasts the earth to gain access to finite raw resources, scarring the land and obliterating ecosystems in the process. Then factories process the materials and create products, generating waste and burning fossil fuels. Those products are packaged and shipped, usually in plastic, which leads to further burning of fossil fuels during transportation. Then the consumer gets their item...and eventually, those products become old or we use them up, and we discard what remains - be it a wrapper, or a container, or a dead battery, or the item itself if we become bored with it. Once discarded, the items go to a landfill or even worse, wind up in our oceans or ecosystems. If these items are made of plastic, as so many of our material goods are these days, they break down into microplastics which harm wildlife and humans alike.

Our way of existing and our obsession with material objects is toxic and is leading to environmental decline. We are sacrificing the future health of the planet and of humanity for short-term profits or short-term happiness from buying things which make us "happy".
