I think a good project for a better society would be to mark the seasons in ways that aren't so consumerist. People used to have religious and social rituals to mark the changing time of the year, but these days buying stuff is pretty central to the whole thing. Even Dollar Tree has a seasonal section! And sure, it's not just that--people still gather for meals and such, but buying shit fuels so much of it. I think it's a normal human desire to mark the seasons and have some ritual and repetition to life, but I'd like to see us work towards throwing out the stuff that isn't useful.
