Interesting Vid..

May 15, 2009

Hey class,

I ran across this video that basically talks about american consumerism and how it effect the environment and people. A lot of it seems a bit pessimistic and exaggerated but the overall message seems good and on point. While watching this I kind of felt angry and offended how she spoke about the way I live my life and my standard of living, but I thought about it and realized that much of my life revolves around consumerism and wastefulness. I also got the feeling of hopelessness while watching it and then realized that there is still room for improvement in various areas of sustainability for product lifecycles.

The video is kind of long, but worth the time watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLBE5QAYXp8
