Ecopreneur

Recently this week in class we had discussed about basically how to be eco-friendly. We watched a movie about 'Stuff' and some of the things discussed in the film were good facts, but others seemed a little skeptical. In the film it had talked about how we buy and throw way a lot of stuff in our lives. Which could be true in a lot of ways, because Americans seem to get bored easily (on certain things). For instance, cell phones, why is that a person will buy a new cell phone each year? I feel the reason so is because they get bored of the old phone or when they watch the media they notice that new technologies start to develop, hence wanting them to be apart of the crowd and wanting a new cellphone. One thing that I did really think was exactly true, was when it was discussed about how 99% of stuff are disposed in a bout 6 months. In some extent that is true, because once something breaks people tend to just dispose instead of fix it. Also, what makes that true is that we do dispose a lot of stuff, but it could be that majority of that stuff could be food products, food containers, etc. One thing I will admit that I did learn from this whole film, is that we really need to start figuring out ways to help the earth because by the rate we are going, we are killing the earth more and more each day instead of stabilizing it.

Just a thought...the world is in our hands, wouldn't it be right if we take responsibility and fix (or at least control) what is not good for the environment and our health?
