crazy stuff

What I found most interesting was the percentages she had. To think that we create 30% of the worlds trash is ridiculous. I don't think there was much exaggeration to this video. Being in the environment I'm in, I see fist hand the excessive amount of consumption and waste we make. We always have to have the newest thing and be up on the newest trends. New trends and technologies are always being produced which leads to us throwing out our "old and useless" things. After seeing this video, what I think about black friday remains the same. It's just a day created by our government to boost the economy by making us spend money we don't have.

I definitely agree with Cinnamon that new technology encourages us to get rid of our old and useless things. This is simply relatable to how we create 30% of our world's waste. If we're always replacing things, then we never really keep anything. This also relates to how we only keep 1% of the things we buy. Black Friday doesn't relate much to this video. I definitely agree that Black Friday is just a day to encourage shopping and spending money to support the government.
