Review of "Story of Stuff" video

This article was a real eye opener! The video was so interesting and had so much information i knew very little about. The reality of throwing away our trash. This video reminded me of Garbology in so many ways. The very first part of the video really caught my attention, I love they used drawings because it made me understand way more then just imagining it. The fact that we used 1/3 of our natural resources already is such a surprising fact! It makes me wonder what will happen in a few more decades. The toxic she spoke about in the video really fascinated me, the fact that we use chemicals on everything we own even our pillows, which can be danger to our health and effect our brains, seems unnecessary to me. There is way more toxins then I thought, in the air and on everything we touch. When she spoke about how even breast milk is toxic, I began to realize how intoxicating our environment really is. It's sad how much toxins we have in our body from these factories and fumes in the air. This video was very helpful to me and I took a lot from it. I mean the fact that we use 4.5 pounds of garbage daily in absolutely ridiculous! The part that really intrigued me was when she explained how our trash cycle could end and we can begin to reuse and detoxify everything from plastic bags to our environment just by never throwing away our trash in the landfills such as Puente Hills.
