A friend of mine sent me this website which has various videos showing the story of stuff. We all know that factories make things that we use and when we throw things away some those things are recycled and the rest goes to a landfill and is destroyed. However that is the same as saying that we are born, grow up, reproduce, get old and die. There is a lot other things that happen in between that we must consider.
For some reason we always want things that we don’t really need, things that months ago you didn’t even know existed will suddenly become vital for your happiness. We are treating stuff as well as we treat people if not better!
Why is it necessary for us to stop and think “Do I really need this?”, why doesn’t it come naturally to us? I guess that we have been in this vicious cycle for a very long time that we can’t see a way out of it.
It is time for us to change this and become conscious of what is really best for us and tell our friends and family about it. I am here doing my part telling you about it, but what will you do about it?
