I've been learning about consumerism and the media's affect on it for years now in my classes...it makes me so frustrated. <BR/>Anyhoo, thanks for posting this video. I'll be sure to show it around too!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968984890976097075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19550528.post-54654647013005185702009-02-06T23:39:00.000+01:002009-02-06T23:39:00.000+01:00It's very interesting, and makes some important po...It's very interesting, and makes some important points, and I'm glad you posted it - thankyou.<BR/><BR/>A lot of what she said doesn't ring true, though, especially the statistics and all that talk about "toxics", which just seems wrong.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, what she had to say about the quest for constant economic growth, constant increases in consumption really struck a chord. Especially looking at the current "crunch", and the various governments' solutions - subsidising car manufacturers so they can make even more cars that no-one's buying, for example.<BR/><BR/>To really make things better you need people to be responsible for the global picture, and with hundreds of governments that's hard.<BR/><BR/>An example: How much of what we "recycle" actually gets recyled? And how much gets shipped to other parts of the world to be burnt or buried to get our landfill figures down and improve our governments' "green" credentials?Brian o vretanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982178574498189251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19550528.post-54741872345983572322009-02-06T14:31:00.000+01:002009-02-06T14:31:00.000+01:00This video is amazing.

I got to 7:30 and have to stop for now because I have to go teach class and go to work, but I'll be watching the rest later!<BR/> <BR/>I love how this is simplified so anyone can understand it.<BR/><BR/>P.S. I thought Youtube had a 10 minute limit for videos? Hmm.<BR/><BR/>I'll be back!Melisa Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14252498482861679154noreply@blogger.com
