Story of stuff

The Story of stuff explains to us the actual economic system we have in our actual modern society in 20 minutes. Annie Leonard has been travelling around the world checking how all of our stuff and products get created and destroyed, during her travel, she decided to explain us how all the stuff we consume is produced and how it gets wasted.

I think some of the solutions of that problem would be: If we all buy only green products, crafted with ecologic stuff and without being damaging fot the environment, that industry will get more power and influence above the market, so most of the products would be non-damaging for the environment.
In the other hand, not all the products are efficient for the economy. All of the chemical and trash system is necessary to keep our economy on level, now we are obligated to keep buying stuff and consume, so the economy shall not fall. The problem is, if we all stop consuming and changing our actual system, the economic situation would change too, probably in a bad way. So the point is: yes, we must change our system, but we must do it in a way that doesn't involves too much. We could do it thanks to a technology that changes the way to produce without polluting the Earth too much.
