5.1 Systems Theory-Sheena Tagalicod

1. I found the “The Story of Stuff” video very informative and appealing. In terms of culture, this video explains how our society produces and consumes its goods on a day to day basis. We are all tricked into believing that this is the only way to buy goods and that disposing our goods the way we do is good for our environment. The world of marketing is why many of us believe that we should buy and consume products the way we do. It has become so automatic the way we do things that we fail to realize we are even doing any harm.

2. Cornell connects energy, environment, and economic development systems to sustainability.

3. The Canary Report video was heart-whelming and a true eye-opener. It certainly made me realize the struggle that we are all in today. It further moved me to take a better look at the world we live in. We must all come to the realization that change needs to occur. The road is definitely not easy for this change to occur, however if we all stand up and work together some progress can be sure to be made.
