These days all you ever seem to hear and see is how we can make our lives more “green”. This is a growing trend and something we do need to take seriously. I am always amazed but how much people purchase on a weekly, even daily basis. We spend so much money needlessly, yes my husband and I are guilty too. That, I am determined to improve upon. It seems like we are all in the “I want it now, I need it now” mindset. I simply had no idea how negatively this affects our health and our planets future.
That was until I watched this highly informative video, The Story of Stuff. The video is a little over 20 minutes long but I think it’s definitely worth a watch. I was shocked to learn that only 1% of products we purchased 6 months ago are still being used. Only 1%! That is shocking to me. Ours lives have become so disposable, it’s sad really.
If you have teenagers, have them take a few minutes to watch the video too. It’s that important. Afterall, the future will be in their hands soon enough.
