Story of Stuff
The video we watched in class this past week about the Story of Stuff was definitely an eye opener. I never really payed attention or even realized how wasteful we really are. We cause so much harm to the environment, and we are destroying our own home. In the video she made it sound like we were robots, always throwing away items in order to buy the newest model. The more I think about it the more I agree. Our society disposes of items so quick. We let companies, like Apple, hypnotize us. I myself have fallen into this cycle. I just got the iPhone 6s in December, and I have thought about buying the iPhone 7. There is nothing wrong with my current phone. I am just one of many consumers that have allowed companies to brainwash me. This video was an eye opener and was very informative. I want to become a conscious consumer.

Ugh! Yes! I want to live more minimalistic and cut down on my consumerism but the world we live in makes it hard! Its hard to break the cycle of buying things we dont need when things are built to break. Its difficult to find to find sustainable things of high quality! Its hard work! It's also the habit of laziness in my opinion to be smart consumers and research and purchase actual awesome things but yeah. We've lived in a consumeristic world our whole lives and that's a difficult thing to break out of.
