What I watched video from the class and pictures from his site were really made me feel awkward of our society that we are living in. It also reminded me the short cartoon that we watched the other day, the story of stuff because it was helpful to understand to me what society is really offering to consumers behind all the fancy and nice commercials. Our government and corporations always want to us to buy something, consumerism begins. Nobody tells us stop buying because we are ruin our planet or things that we are throwing are making huge garbage mountain.
All of these things make me sad. To be honest myself, what can I do to save myself or others from it? I can easily say ‘yeah, yeah, small change makes huge differences and I can change myself first and booom~ everything’s going to be okay’, but I am not sure about it because I am really well planned consumer of society; I really like to go shop for new things. For the last thing, I want to ask you, are you sure this is going to stop if we change ourselves little bit from we used to be?

We cannot escape consumer society but we can change it and we can make it more responsible. After all, we hold the money--without us, the whole system does not work.
I agree with doctor x. At least, we can change it little by little!!
This is why we are taking this class, this is what all people should realize!
As I got a chance to explain to my friends whatever I saw in the class, they were stunned! They did not know what's happening in the earth! We need to educate them!!
This is another responsiblity that we have to do!
The goal is to take it step by step. Change always begins with one person and then slowly it adds up. We also have the power in this situation as Doctor X said. The problem is that many of us don't feel that way, and by not feeling that way, we gave the sense of power over to businesses that would not exist without us.
I agree with taking it with a step by step. If we want something to happen/change we must do it by a step at a time and just maybe things will change.
