Consumption... Is There Any Limits

One of our videos in class the semester had to do with the state of consumption in our nation. Until the beginning of the movie, I had no clue that pretty much 51 percent of our country was ran by corporations and the remaining 49 percent our GOVERNMENT! After hearing it though and seeing what has gone on in this country that past 10 years, it almost does not surprise me. I also learned that our consumption level has doubled in the last 50 years! And, 99 percent of the things we purchase is thrown away in 6 months? Hard to believe. If we keep increasing at the speed we are now, there is no telling how much trouble we will be in such a short manner. Sustainability is key, and it needs to be!
