We've got a consumption module on our website. Its in the SOSE section and is a 20 hour module for year 10 and 11. It uses Annie Leonard's Story of Stuff and explores consumption, wants vs needs, recycling, fair trade, happiness, production and consumption chains and interconnectedness. Its here. The Big CONsumption.
I also just noticed that Facing the future that I pointed you to yesterday have also done a module on this subject. Its free to download from their website. Its called Buy, Use, Toss. I haven't yet looked in detail but it also uses the story of stuff and there are likely to be lots of complimentary ideas.
Edit - Had a look, it follows a very similar structure to our module as its also based on the story of stuff, additionally there is a lesson on advertising which could be used in an English lesson aswell.
