The Story of Stuff

Posted on Wednesday 23 April 2008

Amazing. Planned obsolescence. 99% of the stuff we produce ends up in a landfill within 6 months. WTF, that’s complete insanity, if not immoral. For every 1 trash can full of stuff we throw away, 70 trash cans full of waste was created to make that stuff. The US has 5% of the world’s population but uses 30% of its resources and creates 30% of its waste. If everyone in the world consumed and wasted at the rate of Americans, we’d need 5 planets. We only have one.

It seems we are the problem.

My face wash from the Body Shop contains reproductive toxins. WTF!
