Task 2b: sustanable consumption

After watching the two short videos "story of bottled watter" and " story of cosmetics". 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, also the cosmetics cantain the toxic chemical which is not good for the health, it might cause cancer. If there is no excessive demand, then there will no be extra pollution done to our environment, no harmful to our health.

The consumer will not know how the bottled water will have big impact in our life, 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. The cosmetics which make women beauty and getting a beautiful skin, but this story is more focus on the product safety. People use cosmetics everyday, like shampoo, body shower, lotion,ect. Those chemical will harm to our life, even baby will get affect as well. From the marketing perception, they do mak profit from it, but why they still put toxic chemical into the products, also give consumer good package and iamge to atrract them to buy the products.

As the designer, we need to make the product green and recyle. Designers might think of the new way to drink water instead of using bottled water, give people knowledge that the tape water is clean as well. For the cosmetic, the designer should more focus on the package, make package reusable and other method to reuce the pollution in our environment.
