Video Reflection: The story of stuff
This vedio remind us to stand up for a change, for a change that is crusual for the sustiability of the earth which led to survival of human being. It reflect the modern lifestyle which produce a lot of unneccessary waste and cost a lot of damage to our environment and people in third world country. If there is no excessive demand, then there will no be extra pollution done to our environment.
The consumer in the developed country will not know how our NEW lifestyle will have impact on the third world country, because all we see is what we want, which is the finish product, the final product which don't show the pollution,suffering of the people in third world country and destruction of the natural environment that is being made during the production line. Because of our excessive demand for goods mostly which we only use for less than 6 months. Yes, we must admit that we need the goods to survive, if we said that we don't need any goods, then we must go back to the stone age which is not very realistic. So we must consume responsiblily to reduce the pollution and destruction cause to the environment. At the same time, we must also promote
green and sustiable product to save the planet for further distruction. For example, solar energy product, recycle paper, ethanol... At such, we will be able to break the current linear material economy line.
It is very interesting where Annie said that the government job is to watch out for us and to take care of us, it is their job! This is very important, government should not just helping the major corporation when making policy, they shall put the genaral population into consideration too.
At last, the survival of the earth and human being is in our hand. It all depend on how we use the earth resources and how we adjust our life style to ensure a better earth tomorrow.
