I feel like the video is biased and attempts to blow the materials economy out of proportion. We are not as bad off as she makes it seem and I think showing this video to school students is not the answer. Making kids fear that buying a set of legos will destroy the environment cannot be the solution to the rising consumption problems. Some of the information she presents is also false. When she raises the point that 50% of our taxes is put towards the military, she is wrong. The government actually puts about 20% towards military. However, I do feel like she raises some important arguments that need to be considered. There are problems with our consumption and the government trying to please corporations but it is not nearly as bad as it seems. We do need to make changes as a country because the rising levels of consumption is not good by any means. We need to figure out solutions that do not involve blowing things out of proportion and feeding misguided information to school students.
