Annie Leonard the story of stuff


wow... what a confronting video... Annie Leonard goes into detail about the way we consume products , the details of the production line and how we are putting ourselves into serious danger. As Industrial designers we play a big role in how these products are designed as well as the materials we chose to use and how they are made. We need to take note and become aware of the reality of this situation and change our way of thinking. Our planet is suffering and it seems to be the third world countries who are at risk the most because its people with power and money who are exploiting them. If all politicians (who are said to have the most power in this problem) as well as the CEO's and corporations of these companies all took this seriously then we can resolve this problem. The designers who create the products can take the step to using less harmful materials or even recycled materials in their products
