The Story of Electronics by Anie Leonard

In this video Anie Leonard presented us the disposal of electronics. In the video "The Story of Stuff" she mentioned how companies were designing products for the dump but in this video she gave us a closer perspective about how that works. She explains how companies of electronics use the "design to the dump" system so we consume more and they can sell more. The strategy to make stuff thrown away quickly consists on designing something to last less or broke fast. This strategy is applied to electronics. As a result, companies make it more easier for us to afford and buy a new electronic when they broke than repairing them. Designing electronics that only last eighteen months is the companies system. This means more consuming and more trash as well. After electronics are being dispose they release toxics that they were made of before. They travel to another countries were workers without proper gear extract the valuable metals and burn the leftovers that release more toxics. In addition she mentions that we should take back on companies and demand greener and long lasting products. This is very interesting because most time whens we buy a new electronic is not only because they broke fast but because media persuaded us to buy it.We need to go green, we deserve better world with less trash .This seems that money and sales are more important than out wellness. I will consider all this when I get offers to buy a new electronics.
