story of stuff -Lugu asjadest

Although, I should be studying at the moment, i wanna share with you the webpage I was given by man from the bush - Joshua.

http://www.storyofstuff.com/

I know that you might wanna say: Hei, I am not a yankee, I am an Estonian, we don't have so much cash to be blamed for consuming stuff - well, everytime I see our rubbish bin filling up fast, I do think that I am defenately in the side of a scale, where yankees sit. We are a developed country, we are the people this webpage is meant for.

Seeing that video - it really made me sad, I do consume and help to produce much more waste than my parents and their parents produced. What can I do? Please, share with me the things what you have done. Help me to help us! And this is not a joke. I know, all of you reading this, must be doing that when you are tired from work and after reading it continue doing your stuff- but think, why are you tired first place - why do you work so much? Do you work sometimes that much because you need money - for what?

So please, encourage me with telling me what you have already done in your life, to put a stop to your consuming, no matter how small those things or changes have been.

Kallid,

sain selle netilehekülje ühelt austraalia maapoisilt Joshualt, ta on nii mõneski mõttes erinev - ta on praegu küll Rootsis vahetusüliõpilane, aga tal on Austraalias farm, kus majandatakse orgaaniliselt, ta armastab oma kodu. Ja ta õpib keskkonnakaitset ja -tehnoloogiat. Okei, ehk ta siis ongi entusiast. Aga kindlasti peab olema midagi, mida saame meie teha. Kasvõi seda, et me ostame vähem asju - me jagame rohkem. Mina näiteks olen otsustanud, et ma ei osta kokaraamatuid, sest retsepte saan ma ka netist, ja nii ehk säästan ma mõnegi puu. Samuti ostan ma vähem riideid, sest reisil olles avastasin, et tegelikult ei ole nii palju riideid vaja. Kindalsti on see kõik tühine - ma tegelikult tahaksin väga osta leiba ja saia, mis ei oleks plastikpakendis. Ma tahaksin osta mahla ja piima pakendites. Vahel ma avastan poes, et ma pean jälle uue kilekoti võtma, sest ma unustasin poodi minnes koti maha - aga miks ma kiirustan? 

See video tekitas minus palju küsimusi - just enesele. Ma loodan, et sellel on ka teile mingi tähendus.

Pai,

Anni
