STORY OF STUFF - Annie Leonard

In this week's video, Annie Leonards shows us how whole design world is becoming more non- environmentlally friendly. She initially explains 5 steps of the linear system to show us how all the products we consume have bad influence for the environment. for example, polictics and supply demand in products could have a bad influence to the world we live in. Also we don't have enough resources and we watse too much. This reminded me how materials and resources are an important part of our every day life and also for our design process.

My opinion about design has changed by giving me an insight how the design of a product affects the world, and this linear cycle that we must develop to become a cyclic cycle. The problem with the cycle is that we are using up all our resources and destryong our earth. After watching this video, i realized that we should improve recycling and be more careful in material chosen when we are designing something.
