Garbage Video Clip

Watching this clip was interesting, it brought to mind the fact we all have been taught since kindergarten plastic is harmful to the environment. Seeing how much trash and plastic has accumulated over a short amount of time is disturbing and what it comes down to in the end is that for the most part we live in a consumer absorbed world and nation. We can buy many things with money today but it will not buy back a healthy environment. It is our job to take care of what we have but unfortunately with all the technology in the world today we are still unable to utilize the plastic in order to create products that are loved and used by the modern family. Finally I do feel that with in this last year people have started to become more aware of how plastic is affecting the environment, but this is just the beginning to what should be a long term commitment.
