The Story of Stuff’.it is more 20-minute video and released by Annie Leonard and her friends in December of 2007. detailing the lifecycle of our material goods. The video clip’s message is fundamentally correct and today our environment facing that system that presented in the video. In this video, Annie Leonard said its a system in crisis is its a linear system and we live on a finite planet and you cannot run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely. she examined five stages namely: extraction, production, distribution, consumption, disposal. 1. Extraction is the first stage of extraction or removing of natural or god gifted things. In today world, we are too depended on natural resources. In the last 10 years, 1/3 of the world resources has been consumed. however, this must be done in a way that limits disruption to the environment and is sustainable. Also, when extracting goods, we need to ensure the people’s rights in the surrounding area are not being harmed.2. Production after the extraction, there is the production stage. This is process of make something from extracted products. Production is also affecting our nature because every factory generates fumes that is dangerous for our atmosphere, pollution, they emit more than 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals a year. Nowadays, factory doesn’t need lots of labor as it was before. Now, everything is controlled by machine which means it needs a highly educated people to do. The erosion of local environments and economies leaves people although no other economic option for people, but they have to work and live in toxic environments. 3.Distribution is the third stage, which distribute products from manufacturer to consumer. She suggested us through an example of Radio, the cost of radio is 4.99. How could $4.99 possibly capture the cost of the radio? those people paid with the most of their natural resource space, clean air, with increasing asthma and cancer rates, kids in the Congo paid with their...
