After I finished watching the Story of Stuff I felt an urgent need to go through all my stuff to make sure none of it was laying around somewhere in the house where it would be ready to be disposed of.
I must say that the video got me thinking a little more about the whole issue. Never before had I given any thought to exactly how the low prices on certain things could actually be lowered to those levels.
It is a real pity and a real shame that the general public has allowed themselves to be valued depending on how much they spend and/or consume. Whats even worse is that the different advertisements one is being bombarded with actually affect some, if not many, of us.
In retrospect it is my understanding that I haven't been as careless as I can imagine many others are when it comes to consuming and/or spending. But I can, without a doubt in my mind, state that I will most definitely be putting a lot more effort when it comes to maintaining the sustainability of any electronic equipment that crosses my path.
