The story of STUFF

I thought this video clip was very interesting, it really triggers you to stop for a few minutes and think. I mean when you think about everything Annie Leonard talked about you slowly start to realize how you have been scammed and brainwashed by the big companies. They make you believe that the things you have are old and you can´t keep them anymore. So you throw them out and walk to the store to buy new products, of the latest version of course.  Even though the ones you had were perfectly fine. How stupid this may be, you still have to agree that the companies are very smart tricking people into continuously buying new products for such a long time. They have really succeeded to secure their own income. 

We can ask ourselves why more people do not do anything about this big problem; it is not like we did not know about it before. We hear about it almost every day. I think that the problem is not that we don´t know how to start to live more eco-friendly. No, the problem is that we are lazy.  I mean haven´t you thought at least once “what difference can I make” I know that I have. This is really the main problem, if everyone walks around thinking that they cannot make a difference we wouldn´t get very far would we?
Luckily for us there are people out there who have devoted their whole lives to a more eco-friendly planet and hopefully they are a big inspiration to others.
