This is a great video sent to me by my sister in law, Angela. It's easy to block this kind of thing out. For me it is hard to look at because it feels hopeless. Like what can I as one person really do to make a difference. It's something that crosses my mind now and then. Especially since I always feel so bogged down with 'stuff'. It clutters my mind and paralyzes me from getting done what I really want to work on.
It's a long video but worth watching and worth the reminder. And I swear I knew something was up with our phones, toaster ovens, and hoses. Those are the products that break unexplainably (that's not a word). We had one toaster over explode. We've never had as good a phone as the first one we bought when we first got married 15 years ago. We used that thing to death. It was taped up as much as we could until it was just time for a replacement. And hoses... don't get me started. There are tons of things that I swear were made SO much better and more durable many years ago.
So go watch this video. I need to figure out some ways for us to cut back, not be so much apart of the consumerness (another new word:). I do love Target though... it's so tempting with all their shiny new things, all the time:P
