The Story of Stuff: Where Have You Been All My Life?


After watching this video, I have come to this conclusion. We as humans and the dominant species on Earth, SUCK at taking care of our planet. I never noticed how many toxins are included in things we use every day. 4 billion tons of toxins released by the US every year? Really? How are we still able to breathe?! Another thing that interested me is the fact that the amount of money we pay for certain things does not really amount to how much it must cost beginning from the production of the product. I admit, I always look for the lowest prices but I've never thought of how it was possible for the prices of some things to be so cheap.

Who knew that the government was controlling us with the strings of consumerism? I never knew that products were made so that they wouldn't last long and we'd be forced to buy new things? Nobody notices the subtle changes in the appearance of things we buy. It's a conspiracy! Like my godmother says, A C-O-N-SPIRACY! I'm not going to lie. This video has opened to my eyes to a lot of different things that never used to think twice about.
