Blog assignment 2

My reaction to the film on how our consuming effects the enviorment is first of all this: I get nauseous by these american simplifications of everything just to make it sound as they are right and everyone else are wrong and just stupid of even thinking in another way. The keystones in the film probably right but I think it´s to easy to just say that if we stop consuming then everything will be top notch. If we stop consuming the hole worlds economy will break down and I wonder if that is what the lady in the film wants? I do not think so...

My suggestion is instead of just not buying stuff at all, buy stuff that is made as enviorment-freindly as possible. My believe is that we are not able to change the hole worlds way of shopping and consuming so instead of giving people like you and me bad conscience because we like having the newest and coolest things, force the manufacturers and businesses to create enviromental-freindly products by legislate laws for this.

I really hope we and by we I mean the hole worlds population will do something about this problem because I would not like to see my children and maybe even childrens children grow up in a world that previous generations messed up so bad that it is impossible to fix.

Hope it´s not to late...
