Although some of the details of the video may be biased or even inaccurate, I do believe the core message is a good one. The concept that production and consumption is a linear process is very damaging to our planet. I think many of the problems she mentions arise not from people being evil but from our system being flawed. The system I am talking about and that I believe the video should have mentioned is the market system . The reason forests are cut down, factories create pollution, products are made to break quickly, advertisements tell us to buy more, and trash is burned is because those methods create the most profits. We live in a world run by capitalism and markets. The issue is that this system maximizes profits but not the overall well being of the planet. As the video mentioned, all the costs to produce a radio are not reflected in the price. If the costs to planet were included in the price then they would be much more expensive and therefore less people would buy them.

Despite your opinions on the video, I think it is good because it raises some important questions and forces you to rethink things that many of just assume to be natural.
