The Story of Stuff

After watching the clip, it's surprising how wasteful Americans really are. But I think the video was exaggerated overall. Part of our society is keeping up with technology. As new technology comes out, the old things are no longer used, and often go to waste. A day like Black Friday can be both good and bad. While there are often extremely good deals, it tricks people into buying things that they don't need, and they eventually go to waste.

I agree with you. I was really surprised to find out that we waste 99 percent of our purchases. But I also think the video exaggerated a lot too. I also agree that Black Fridays are good and bad. We may find good deals, but they are also a way for stores to get more money.
