The video demonstrates the extent to which "consumerism" has taken over our lives and how its become part of our life. Adam Smith's model of self-individualism invited the idea of Consumerism, which drove people into the idea of luxury which seemed very appealing. Ever since this ideology has taken over the world and has become very costly to the planet.
Consumers need to be more aware of how they they're behaviour can lead to a catastrophe. It could be said that the constant purchase of goods (sometimes not necessarily needed by them) by the population of the world is using up some of the non-renewable resources of the earth to an extensive amount or is creating pollutants that is harming our planet. Having said that, looking at this from another perspective, I would not want people to stop buying. As a matter of fact I am not against consumerism, because I believe, consumerism seizes so will the desire for purchase of products designed by myself in the future. As a designer I see myself taking a different approach to consumerism and its negative effects on the earth. I could seek a more sustainable approach to my designs and products.
