I've found this video on the Internet last year and it helped me understand why the system of production of most of the products we consume is in crisis. Let's watch it again and reflect upon the ideas that are mentioned in it!
The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
Key words that may help you understand the video:
stuff = things
trash = garbage / rubbish
trashing the planet = polluting / contaminating the plantet
