Stuff

I feel as though black friday is starting to get a little bit ridiculous. Stores are now opening earlier and earlier every year. And now that the economy is bad you could honestly get the same discounts any other day. Black friday just wants to bring customers into the store so they can find great deals on things they don't need. After watching the video it was hard to believe what she was saying is the truth. It's scary to know that if we keep at this pace there will be no earth. I don't think we can do anything to slow down our consumption of stuff, because we do need some stuff to survive. We just need to make some improvement in the system and fix the big problems!

exacctly stores are just really shaddy now. When the people walk into the store and see all these things for such low prices, they dont care if they need it or not they will just buy it on how cool the product is.

I agree with Lizzie that it is very sad that this is what it has come down to. Especially the fact that as consumers, there is no way we are going to change the way we live by slowing down consumption.

I agree with Lizzie. Black Friday is becoming ridiculous--Stores opening on Thanksgiving is crossing a huge line and they should not be able to open that early. With the consumers constant desire for new items, the US and the world will only get worse.
