Can someone help me reparaphrase this?

In modern times, we seem to buy more than what we need, and use and waste more water and electricity without thinking about the consequences of our actions. It seems to be normal behaviour to
consume more and waste more.

In the present day, we tend to purchase things in bulk rather then when we need it. This leads us to waste materials like water and natural resources used for electricity without thinking about the consequences of our actions, as it feels normal to water more then we will consume or utilize.

There can be more freedom for them
