Task 5: Video Reflections - Annie Leonard

Immediately Annie Leonard has given me some insight into what is going on with the whole process of products we buy, in which she describes her story of stuff where she begins with the whole process as being of a linear form consisting of "Extraction", ""Production", "Distribution", "Consumption" and "Disposal". Although her main points are between the lines of these processes. Such as her example of the $4.99 radio, where people have scarified their future, earth's future, cleanliness of the air, had all suffered just to get the price of the radio down to $4.99.

I hadn't known about the end result of the process but Annie has shown that 99% of the things we buy gets trashed such that 1% is kept and used after 6 months. It was really surprising to see such figures. Considering this, one way to help is to use renewable energy to reduce consumption then also change the linear system into a circular system consisting of equity and sustainability.
