Video Reflection : Story of Stuff


This video promotes the idea of recycling and reusing. It reveals the true story behind the process of manufacturing a product. The price of the products we use daily are not only the money that we pay for them. The true price of the products that we use daily is the our planet's recourses, our peoples harbour and the planet's health.
By using non-recyclable products we are using all the resources present on earth for products that will not probably last very long. we have been using 35% of our recourses on earth during the last 100 years and if we continue this way without searching for solution our planet will soon be out of resources will be finished.
We are also currently using certain manufacturing methods that are harmful for to our own and other animals' health and existence. certain elements used in the production of our material have to be stoped from using or be replaced.
The solutions to these harms that we are causing to our planet is in our hands. We should replace non-recyclable materials we recyclable ones . one other solution is using energy sources that are renewable and non-pollutant such as using solar energy instead of burning fuels to generate the equivalent energy.
this video was a very illuminating source of information. It teaches designers to consider the idea of sustainability in their design process.
