ANNIE LEONARD
The biggest message that I got from this video was probably the unavoidable fact that consumption is now our way of life. With the amount of waste produced just to make products that we constantly buy and replace, it does not bode well for our planet. The whole material economy cycle that Annie has showed does its best in making us consumers realize the vicious cycle that we are a part of and continuing to support. Annie further explains how the media is also used to aggresively fuel this addiction of ours to constantly buy newer products. After thinkin about this point, it does become frightening how much advertising we really are exposed to everyday as well as ideals that are put into our heads in order to follow the norm set by them. To sum it all up, sustainable design to me is probably the best way to go about this growing problem. This as well as recycling should slow down the need for us to constantly replace products that we own.
