1) One thing that could be redesigned so that resources and money isn't wasted is the variety of charger ports in electronic devices, especially phones. A few years back, phone companies redesigned the charger ports on phones to fit the new slimmer designs. This is understandable, but it was extremely annoying when I found out that each phone company designed their own port. So we ended up with multiple designs for charger ports, causing us to buy new adapters and sometimes new chargers. The charger ports in laptops are also different for each company. If one type of electronic device shared the same design, I think that would save a lot of money and resources.
ReplyDelete2) Although she didn't admit it, the way the woman in the video talked made it seem like the problems within the linear system such as consumption are easy to solve (especially at the end of the video). But I do agree that we should all work towards solving those problems and connecting the ends of the linear system so that nothing goes to waste.
3) I think it is definitely possible to reduce our consumption and the trashing of perfectly reusable stuff. For example, over the past few years, switching cars every now and then became more frequent, although the cars that they drove could be used for more than twice the time it took for them to buy and trash it.
4) All of the risks and statistics that support the redesigning of production and consumption practices can be found in the video.
-99% of the stuff we run through the system is trashed in six months
-Child labor
-Pollution
-Landfills and incinerating waste
-Pollution
-Destruction of the environment
1.Water bottles could be redesigned to reduce the imprint that product leaves on the global landscape. Instead of using plastic, where you’ll throw it out once you’ve drunk all the water, we could use glass bottles or thermoses. If every person had one of those that they reused constantly, then we would sell less plastic bottles. And ideally, we would produce less garbage.
ReplyDelete2.I agree with the fact that the media is a major influence on consumer goods. The TV shows me what’s ‘in’ and that makes me go out and get it. However I disagree with the fact that government doesn’t work for the people. Some governments are really trying to help the community, but it is us-the people- that stops their actions from taking place. If someone reduced our consumer goods in order to lessen the imprint on the planet, we would be unhappy with them.
3.I don’t think it is. If all the sudden we stopped buying, consuming, as much the economy would drop and many people would loose their jobs. Everyone would be unhappy and start to use more again.
4.Corporations should want to redesign their production and consumption practices because soon enough people will start to react and the corporations will be ridiculed. They also know that they are trashing the planet and therefore must feel guilty. Corporations also should, because we are running out of resources and going from a lot to nothing will be bad. People will complain and the corporations will have nothing to sell.
1. The idea of plastic spoons and forks could be redesigned. The plastic that is thrown away harm the environment as well as the people and animals living in it. People could use reusable metal spoons and forks instead of buying new ones every time we eat, helping us lessen our footprint.
ReplyDelete2. I agree with the point that when people take out the natural resources from the planet, it really hurts the planet as well as the wildlife and plants living on it.
3. I think it is possible to redesign our consumption habits because people would still be buying things, just not the same things. Although people might stop buying things such as plastic bags and non-reusable items similar to that, it might be better for our world in the long run if we did. I believe that people can be convinced to change their consuming habits.
4. Corporations should redesign their production and consumption practices because they are hurting the environment, and soon people will realize how bad it is really becoming. Also, as the woman in the video said, 1/3 of the planet's natural resources are gone: we are running out of stuff.
1) Styrofoam takes a very long time to break down completely. Many things are used with styrofoam, for example, McDonalds used to package all of their BigMacs and hamburgers in styrofoam boxes, until people started complaining about how unsanitary it makes the food, and hot much the boxes could harm the environment. Also, once styrofoam cracks, in most cases, it could never be used again.
ReplyDelete2) I agree with the fact that people are too focused on taking natural resources from the earth, and they don't take enough time to realize that they are hurting plants and animals, and they are hurting the air we breathe.
3) I think it would be possible to redesign our consumption habits, only if everyone in the world cooperates. If people reduce the amount of "things" they buy. The problem is getting the people of our world to cooperate. If everyone puts just a little effort in helping our world, like they did for Haiti and Japan, it could really make a difference.
4) Corporations should redesign their production and consumption practices because they are hurting the world. Rather than waking up one day and realizing what they did to the world, it would be better to help prevent the pain we might have to go through to fix our mistake and the mess we created.
1. I think people should start using handkerchiefs instead of tissues because whenever I'm sick I use hundreds of tissues and you can't recycle them because once you blow your nose on them they are destroyed, but you can easily wash handkerchiefs.
ReplyDelete2. I agreed with what she said that people don't try to understand or think about where the products came from, like she said about the really cheap radio that was probably made from resources of a 3rd world country, and made by the 3rd world country.
3. I think it can be done and should be done, like Taylor said everyone needs to cooperate or corporations could take advantage of the people.
4. Corporations should realize that they are only hurting the world and there is no point to have a lot of money, if in the end the world is basically gone to global warming.
1. One thing that we use that could be redesigned to reduce the imprint the product leaves on the global landscape are paper cups. Although they are sometimes helpful, they waste a lot of paper and hurt the environment. If we use plastic cups for drinking water instead, no paper would be wasted. Paper cups could also be replaced by water fountains!
ReplyDelete2. I agree with the woman in the video that we should all work towards solving the problem and stop hurting the earth. We should also attempt to redesign our consumption habits. I agree with several other things she said, but I didn’t like how she seemed to exaggerate in some parts of the video. For example, when the woman was talking about commercials, she says, “What’s the point of an ad, except to make us unhappy with what we have. So 3,000 times a day, we are told that our hair is wrong, our skin is wrong, our clothing is wrong, our furniture is wrong, our car is wrong, we are wrong. But it can all be made right if we all go shopping.” Another time she exaggerates is when she’s talking about the thickness of heels, and shows people with skinny-heels laughing and pointing at a girl with fat-heels.
3. Yes, it is possible to redesign our consumption habits. In order to do this, we have to stop buying things we don’t need, and use the things that we do buy as efficiently and effectively as possible. We also don’t need to listen to commercials that tell us that “we’re not good enough” and persuade us to buy things so that we fit in and have “contributed to the era recently.” We also should stop discriminating people by what things they have. If we do, this will drive people to buy things TV commercials and corporations tell us to buy.
4. Nations or corporations should redesign their production and consumption practices because they are severely damaging the earth everyday. As the video said, the air, land, and water is being polluted because of this. Nations and corporations have to realize what they are doing to the earth and stop. I also think they should recycle all the garbage instead being lazy and exporting it or burning it.

1. - SAT books: SAT books are supposed to help students prepare for all kinds of tests, but why make different copies of thick, 1000-paged books all with different topics on each different, thick book? Why not shrink the number of questions on each topic to include all the topics into one thick, 1000-paged book and save trees?
ReplyDelete- Handbags: same with shoes, the number of straps and the style in which the bag contains makes people, mostly females to consume handbags every year, or even month to be in style. These days, mom says that cheetah print-bags are in style, but now, that's considered old! Within a month! I bet zebra-prints are next.
- Ipods: starting with a fat ipod, now there's an ipod shuffle, a real tiny thing, to a huge ipad, which resembles a laptop but in ipod form.
2. I agree with all the things Annie Leonard talked about. They all seem to be true. We do use up materials quickly, too quickly in fact, that the workers have to make new materials for us, the people to be entertained and still be interested in the product, such as the ipods/pads/whatever new thing they're gonna call it. I also agree that fashion and breakable things make you buy stuff often. I even heard of someone who would break their stuff so that their parents/guardians will buy them the cool, new stuff. I totally agree that the linear system should and could be changed to a circular system.
3. It is possible and impossible at the same time. It is possible because all the steps required in order to make it possible are all pretty much stated in the video. All the people have to do is carry them out. What makes it impossible is the amount of greed we people have. No person will reluctantly let go of their incoming wealth, such as the fat person in the video just to save the lives of others. Some governments might be too scared that they won't be sponsored by these big people to make changes. Thus, having no changes take place.
4. Nations and corporations should stop and think of all the child labor, the resources/energy, the amount of trash, the dangerous toxins, the pollution, and the number of homes destroyed so that they can stop these problems. But why would corporations do that if they are doing well in the economy, selling their stuff with ongoing support from the consumers? They wouldn't.Some may realize what they're doing, but wouldn't risk it all for the greater good, such as the French Revolution, where the wealthy were privileged and objected against change that may risk losing their wealth and status.

ReplyDelete1. An example that we could change would be coffee filters. After a couple of uses, the coffee filter would be thrown away. Instead of resulting in wastes, if the companies formed coffee filters that could be used for a longer period of time or if the coffee machine makers insert a coffee filter that could be washed and used over again, then that would help the environment.
ReplyDelete2. The main theme in the video is how companies have a linear path towards earning money. Although this is true, the narrator carries a biased opinion on the companies. Yes, the companies are doing what she said for the main goal of achieving money but it is, in a way; not their fault. Society has made it so that companies cannot survive unless they follow this cycle to earn money. It may be that the companies started this whole idea of "earn money by creating more products" but we as consumers have also led to this downfall of wishing products more faster and with better updates.
However, I do agree with the fact that the companies are using media as a way to connect with the consumers and make them buy their products. They use our thoughts such as "I wonder if using this will help me look more attractive?" to gain an advantage to us. By making their commercials make it seem as though we cannot live without their product, we are, in a way, hypnotized to buy their product.
3. In my opinion, changing ourselves currently would not be possible. We have grown so accustomed to living this style of life that change will be very hard. For example, a man would go to the market for some milk. He buys milk but then sees the sign of "buy one, get one free" for a box of crackers. It is not as though he adores the crackers but since there is a free box in the deal, he buys them. As he looks around, he sees more discounts, free products, and other advantages that force him to spend money. We all become excited when we see "on sale!" signs in a store. We have already made it so that it is virtually impossible to change how we live. Even if the economy in this world is balanced, we will still carry greed in our minds that will make it hard for us to change our consuming habits.
4. Nowadays, consumers want new innovating ideas. As corporations and nations change their products, this will help perk interest and allow the corporations to gain more fame and wealth. Becoming more eco-friendly will help the planet and allow the corporations to have a cover-up for how they earn money. They will be able to continue their production ways by saying how they were the "first corporation to used eco-friendly plastic" in their products. It could become a win-win situation for both the consumers and the makers but also result in a continuous cycle that was shown in the video: continuous buying even though we do not need that object.
1. A real world example of stuff we use that could be redesigned to reduce the imprint it leaves on the earth is plastic water bottles. Plastic water bottles are used only once and then are thrown away. They should be redesigned so they use the least amount of plastic needed to make the water bottle. In other words, the plastic should be thin so that less plastic can be used to make more water bottles. Making plastic also pollutes the environment, and wastes a lot of natural resources.
ReplyDelete2. I agree with Annie Leonard in that we use too many resources, and that the toxic chemicals used to produce "stuff" are very harmful to us. I also agree that the government should step in so that less things get wasted. The price of the stuff we buy is not the real price of the item. It's not fair for the other people that pay for the cost of the item. Lastly, everything that we use is wasted. In the video, Annie Leonard said that 99% of the stuff we produce and run through the linear system is trashed after 6 months. This shows how much we waste. I think that we should stop using so much, and the people that make the stuff we buy should be less wasteful when producing the stuff. I don't disagree with any of the things Annie Leonard said in the video.
3. Yes it is possible to redesign our consumption habits. We need to inform the world that we are wasting a lot of resources, and advertisements are making us buy unnecessary things. Also, the corporations need to make durable products that last long so that they will not waste any resources. Instead of using harmful chemicals to make products, we should start using good and helpful things that will not harm us, or the Earth. I think that if everyone pitches in, we could redesign our consumption habits and change the world in a better way.
4. Nations and corporations should or would want to change their production and consumption habits in order to save the planet. If we keep using up our resources as we are using them today, we will run out of resources very soon and the world will get very polluted. In order to stop this from happening, nations and corporations should change their production and consumption habits. Also,we should do something about this problem as well because the nation and corporation's production and consumption habits greatly affect our daily lives in a negative way.
1. A real world example not mentioned in the video of "stuff" we use that could be redesigned to reduce the print that product leaves on the global landscape are how cars are fueled. They're running out of fossil fuels and fossil fuels are really harmful to us as well as the environment. The wells made to extract the oil are also left after there's no more oil to drill. This really damages the ecosystem. We should use hydroelectric cars instead.
ReplyDeleteAlso, multiple trees are sacrificed to make magazines, newspapers, books, and textbooks. Magazines and newspapers could have subscriptions online. Books could be read on devices like kindle and nook. Instead of having textbooks at school and at home, we could have textbooks in the classroom and use online textbooks at home.
2. I agree with all the points of "The Story of Stuff." I think the world today has become too materialistic. We need the latest materials. If we don't wear skinny jeans, we're old fashioned. If we don't have the latest phone you're poor. It's all so stereotypical. Even at school, the teachers have the latest macbooks. This is harmful to the environment because the computers the teachers were using were perfectly fine. They weren't broken, and they may not have been as fast as the macbook pros of today, but were decent. Even in the computer classrooms, they replaced the dell computers with imacs which costs quite some money. What happened to the old computers? Were they thrown away and added to the toxic wastes?
3. It's possible to redesign our consumption habits in the diverse and imbalanced global economy we live in if we have the will. We should use things until they break or even better, until it cannot be repaired. We should watch less TV because the media is always promoting stuff through celebrities using/wearing them, TV shows, and advertisements. Instead, we should spend time with family and friends or quality activities like reading to gain more knowledge and exercising to be healthy. People should recycle to reduce at least a bit of the toxic wastes. In Japan after the earthquake, people were able to adapt to buying less than 10 items a day to provide for their families. Instead of using heaters, they're using thick blankets and aluminum to contain their body heat. It just shows that today, people are not willing to change unless they have to. Well in the near future, if we don't change, we're going to have to because we won't be able to afford all the things we have now.
4. Nations or corporations should want to redesign their production and consumption practices because they're running out of resources quickly and if they don't change, they're going to end up with a panic-attack when one day they wake and they find nothing. More and more people are going to have to live next to landfills and polluted rivers if they don't take action. The price of water will go up because it'll be harder to obtain clean water. It's also harder to turn back the longer we wait.
1. In the real world, instead of using all the papers and the one that you have to throw away in one day, we should start using the plastic stuff to save our environment. If we use the plastic stuff instead of paper stuff, you can save that for a long time and use it for a long time, instead of throwing them away. This will definitely help our world and environmental issues.
ReplyDelete2. In this video, I agreed two things. One, about the recycling part and other is the cycle of our lives. In the video, she said that we should definitely recycle even though it doesn't help all the environment problem. People can't just say I want recycle because it doesn't help environment problem at all. Recycle does help, and we can save our world even though by yourself, it can only help 1% of our world. If everybody do recycle 100%, it helps the world so we should keep our recycling. Other is the cycle of our lives. Which means that you watch the commercial in TV about new stuff, and you decided to buy that new stuff. But to afford that, you need to work. We should stop this cycle. We can change this buy keeping that things that you have right now until it breaks.
3. It is impossible to redesign our consumption habits in a diverse and imbalanced global economy but also, we should start thinking about this in 100 years. It is impossible to do it right now because then all the company will get mad and they won't be able to work right now. And customer would be sad that they can afford new things. But if we think about this in 100 years and 200 years, customer can save their clothes and wear them until you can't wear them anymore. You should not buy new stuff every month. It is okay to buy new stuff in 2 years but not every week or month. so if people stop buying new stuff at the different time, then company won't be too bad and we can save our world too. So right now, I think it is impossible but future, yes, it's possible.
4. Nations and corporations should or would want to change their production and consumption habits in order to save the planet. Corporations might not know that they are destroying their own world, and planet. But they should start feeling that if they don't stop, they have a chance of dying too. It is affecting our life and their life, too. As I said in 3, they should start stopping this little by little, so you won't destroy water and lands. Also, they should start recycling too, instead of destroying and burning it because they don' want to work extra time.
1) I think things that we can redesign to reduce the imprint that the product leaves on the global landscapes are chopsticks. In many Asian restaurants, they provide us with disposable chop sticks which are rapped in paper. I think many people like these kinds because they know that it’s clean. However, by using chopsticks that are reusable or even carrying your own, we can save the trees that make the rapper and the used chop sticks, end up as trash. Many people in Japan now carry their own chop sticks to save waste these days.
ReplyDelete2) I agree with the video that whenever I see advertisements, I feel like I have to buy the new stuff. It makes me think that I have to buy again, in order to go with the trend. However, I think that this idea is crazy because even though we can still use the product, just because we want to look better, we are buying new things everyday, which we don’t actually really need.
3) I think it’s possible, if everyone tries. We should think in a way like “I am polluting the world so I should at least stop”, instead of thinking “everyone else is so I can pollute too”. I feel that little things can slowly make a change to our world.
4) Nations or corporations want to redesign their production and consumption practices because we are running out of sources and polluting the world. They should think about other ways to be more effective and friendly to the environment. However, this will be really hard to be accomplished because they want to make profit.
1. We could redesign CDs so that they can all just be downloaded online. I realize that this is already in use, but I would like for the production of CDs to fully stop, so that no more resources need to be wasted on something that can just be downloaded.
ReplyDelete2. I agree with recycling not being as good as it should be. I agree with the fact that media is using a sick system that in a way forces us to buy goods. I also agree with the fact that landfills and incinerates are really toxic and should no longer be used. However, I disagree with the idea that people who think that remaking the system completely is impossible are supporting the system that is currently taking place, since they could just be saying that the whole world won't fully accept this system. Everyone knows that there will always be people who disagree.
3. Yes, I believe it is possible. However, it will take a lot of time and the media will have to drastically change into this mindset to really get it going. It will be really hard to change the system that so many people are used to, but I am sure it can be done.
4. They would want to redesign these habits because, just like the juice box mentioned in the video, materials will become scarce, so the companies won't be able to make more things!
-Irene Morchio
1.One “real world” example of something that could be redesigned to reduce imprints is to make tools so that they can be easily separated into different materials. For example, if technology such as computers or radios could easily be separated into metals or radios, it would make it easier to recycle. Another is to make clothes that, when worn out, will release the color dye inside it. This will allow color dyes to be reused.
ReplyDeleteThe more obvious solution, however, is to make things we use sturdier with no purposefully made faults. Sturdy metals such as aluminum and titanium can be incorporated into materials. Finally, toxic chemicals can be reduced since they endanger lives and toxic concentration in people.
2.For the most part, there were little or no points I disagreed with. I believe as well that people are buying too much products and not using them effectively. Eventually, this will gather into wastes that will harm the environment. I agree with the statement that too many resources and people are sacrificed so that products are sold cheaper, for while this may seem beneficial, the truth is that stronger countries in terms of economy are controlling developing countries.
Another main point I believe is true is that since the Earth’s resources are not infinite, the system of production should not be a linear one. The obvious reason is because if the current generation uses up all of the resources provided by the planet, there won’t be anything left for the next generation to work with. What this means is that we are harming our own and the planet’s future.
3.I believe that it is possible for us to change our consumption patterns, but this is not possible unless we are willing to effectively use and take care of products we buy. Even if it is an unbalanced economy, it is our duty to make sure that it is balanced on both ends by having more self-control and thought on what we buy. Of course, this implies that consumption habits are also related to controlling and challenging yourself. As for diverse economies, no matter where a person may be, he or she can do what they can to make sure they are not manipulated by corporation messages. This will eventually lead to recognition of those who work to produce products and have been forced to sacrifice what is rightfully their property.
As long as people have the will to make a difference in their own and others' lives, there can always be a possibility for a change in the global economy.
4.Nations and corporations should want to change their production and consumption practices because conclusively, they are only hurting themselves. The reasoning behind this is that the more waste is produced, the more the Earth, the planet we all live in, will be expended. Then, it goes against human rights to steal and control other nations’ lands and supplies. It is similar to economic imperialism due to which many countries suffered in the last century.
Lastly, toxic chemicals that are used in factories will slowly yet surely harm the world population. Unless nations and corporations are willing to change the linear system of production, there is always a possibility that people will unite against them. In the end, that can lead to the collapse of many countries.

ReplyDelete1. One thing that can be made environment friendly are the plastic bags. We can start using jute or paper bags. Plastic bags are almost permanant once they are created. If you burn them then they release toxic gases which are really bad for the environment. They literally take forever to mix up with the ground if they are buried. It is very costly to turn it back to the raw materials from which it came. Everday more than thousands of plastic bags are made and sold without even the thought of what to do once they are used. The only way to help the environment is stop making the plastic bags and keep using the once already made.
2. I find it hard to believe that only 1% of the total products made are actually used. It is impossible to throw away 99% of the stuff when you have a total population is more than 3 billion. I think it is impossible that 3 billion people could only use 1% of the stuff made. I disagree with that fact. The companies will reduce the amount of stuff made if they see so less people buy it. Which company will waste money in making useless products which will not gain it any profit?
3. I think it is possible. We can buy the stuff and then donate it if it becomes old for us. It is still new for someone and this way it will be used twice the time. This will reduce the amount stuff used and increase the amount of time they are used.
4. The companies should reduce the number of products made but they would not do it for that reason. They should check for the safety of the products but again they will not do it because it would cause a loss for the specific company which is making the product.
1. Discuss a "real world' example, not mentioned in the video, of "stuff" we use that could be redesigned to reduce the imprint that product leaves on the global landscape.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, books can be redesigned to reduce the imprint that the product leaves on the global landscape. Instead of cutting down so many trees to produce books, people can carry around electronic devices that you can download quickly and easily by paying money online. If we cut down too many trees, the environment of many animals will be harmed. Like it said in the video, in the United States, there is less than 4% of the original forest left. Paper should be recycled more often and less books should be produced.
2. What are some of the points presented in "The Story of Stuff" video that you agree or disagree with?
Most of what was said in "The Story of Stuff" were true. We are using too much stuff. Like she said, we are using more than our share. The US population is about 5%, but they are using 30% of the world's resources. I agree that strong nations take resources from the third world. Then, the third world is trashed and polluted. We should reduce the pollution because if we keep on putting toxins in, then we are going to keep on getting toxics out our stuff that we use everyday.
3. Is it possible to redesign our consumption habits in a diverse and imbalanced global economy?
Yes, I think it is possible if everyone participates. If everyone just took the time to recycle empty water bottles instead of just throwing them in the trash, I think the global economy can improve. There should be more recycling bins around our society so it is easy to recycle often. If everyone just took a little bit of their time to recycle or save money, the global economy can already improve.
4. Why should or would nations or corporations want to redesign their production and consumption practices?
Nations or corporations should or would redesign their production and consumption practices to save the global economy. For the benefit of the future, we should conserve our money and natural resources. If we keep on polluting our own land, later, many people will live near the trash and there would be a lot of toxic in the air. The water will also become polluted, and that would cause crisis because water is the most important resource humans need. Companies should make more recycling advertisements instead of advertisements telling us to buy stuff.
1. Discuss a "real world' example, not mentioned in the video, of "stuff" we use that could be redesigned to reduce the imprint that product leaves on the global landscape.
ReplyDeleteI think people should try harder to use products that are made in plastic or fabric. I often hear workers from bakery, stationary stores, and etc asking me whether I need a paper bag or not. I am pretty sure producing paper bags for costumers every time they come to stores requires to cut down a massive number of trees, and this is not a good idea at all. Lack of trees not only harms animals, but humans as well. The woman in the video said that the eighty percent of the originals forests are gone now. This is actually a very serious problem. In order to bring an improvement to our world, people should try get more used to carrying their own bag made out of fabric or plastic that last long enough.
2. What are some of the points presented in "The Story of Stuff" video that you agree or disagree with?
The video mentions a lot of facts that I agree with. People are not aware of how much we waste, and they tend to use than they need. I actually see many kids around me wasting paper as if it is nothing, and they do not even bother themselves to put them in recycle bins. As the woman in the video said, 2000 trees are wasted in one minute. I honestly think people should be more educated about how careless they are and how mean they are being to environments. At the same time, if we polluting the world, it is going to harm us, too.
3. Is it possible to redesign our consumption habits in a diverse and imbalanced global economy?
Yes, I am pretty sure it is possible to redesign our consumption habits. People, firstly, should be more educated about our environments. I was shocked to know how much we waste while watching the video. I think people would take more time to concern about environments if they start to take it seriously. Also, I think it should be required to put recycle bins everywhere, including schools, subways, streets, and etc. People are going to be more aware of it if they see them more often. Although it is going to take a long time to make a change, if people become more aware of t he problem, things are going to improve for sure.
4. Why should or would nations or corporations want to redesign their production and consumption practices?
Nations and corporations should want to redesign their production and consumption practices for several reasons. Although the consequence of our consumption habits may not be clear right now, they are going to appear to us very soon. If we keep destroying the world, we are going to end up living in a place that is filled with polluted air and no resources. Global warming is already a big concern to us right now, and it is mainly caused from the process of burning materials and by too many factories. We have already destroyed our world. In order to improve such problems, we all should hope for better production and consumption practices.
