video reflection 5: Annie Leonard(The story of stuff)

Annie Leonard's video mainly tells what the products we design are being used for, where we get our materials from and where it ends up. She discussed America's contribution towards resources and waste. I was really shocked that how much of resources are consumed for just one product. After watching this video, I realized the seriousness of wastes. When I become an industrial designer, I should designed product which is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
