Stuff~

I knew that we were pretty wasteful, but I never knew we threw away so much though. After watching the video, I was definitely surprised to find out that Americans throw away 99 percent of the things we purchase. It makes us look really bad when we only keep 1 percent of the things we buy. A lot of the things stated in the video are true, but I think that a lot of things weren’t mentioned as well. One thing not mentioned is the huge “going green” movement we have right now. Although we might throw away a lot of stuff, we recycle a lot too. We try to care for the environment, and are trying our best to help the world. A lot of the video only focused on the bad, and ignored the good that we do. So Black Friday… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I think we end up spending more than saving, but it’s our own decision to go or not. Like my mom always says to me, “The only way to save is to not shop at all.”
