It was just another day and just another site - The Story of Stuff
Well, I liked the story Annie Leonard has presented. I learned 2 things:
Well, I liked the story Annie Leonard has presented. I learned 2 things:
- Production Cycle - The Big Picture + Several Facts about each Stage - Extraction, Production, Distribution, Consumption and Disposal.
- New Ways to address the problems associated with the current Production Cycle.
It is a 20 minute video. The presentation of video, Annie's ability to deliver across the Message, and the facts - all are excellent.
To sum up in a line 'Production Systems on Earth are Linear Production System. Such systems cannot last forever because they use Finite Resources. Hence these systems are systems in crisis'
I just did not agree to one thing - she blatantly said that we need to throw our computers and bring a new one after every 5 year or so - 'just because a chip in our Mother Board Changes and the new one does not fit at the old one, because its shape is different.'
She was trying to highlight that some things are knowingly built to become obsolete in some years so that people have to buy new one.
But I don't think that it is possible at all to replace a chip in mother board - for that to happen Graphics Card, Sound Card etc. should all be different entities connected together through some dangling wires..
Well, they used to be such earlier. But with reducing size of these chips - we were able to put them all on one Mother Board - this in turn saved a lot of space.
I am trying to find more on this, but otherwise I think 'Story of Stuff' is too good a video to be missed.
