From its extraction by means of sale, use and discarding, all the objects in our lives have an effect on communities at home and overseas, yet most of this is concealed.
Annie Leonard's video uncovers the relations between an immense amount of environmental and communal issues, and urges us to generate a more sustainable and moral world.
Leonard has been continuously spelling out the idiocy of our disposable society to many for decades. While her mastery of precision is admirable, it is ultimately her fervent approach that transforms dreary facts into controversial stories that pressure you to take action.
Leonard's video brings to mind the thought of needs versus wants. It serves as a wake-up call of sorts to designers to be aware of the amount they take from the environment and whether they use what they take to its full lifespan and capacity, reminding us to be environmentally conscious and responsible.
