Story of stuff awakens each and everyone of us to stop too much consumerism and help fix the environment. It shows how mindless people are becoming nowadays. They consume too much from the environment but they don't give something back to it. If we could just learn to love the environment and save it from devastation maybe the next generation can still enjoy the warmth love of mother nature. As an mechanical engineer, I would help mother earth on my own way. I would design products that would be eco-friendly and mechanical by heart. The way to help is an automobile that does not use any fuel so that we would never use fuels anymore because what we need today is renewable energy so that we can fight climate change!!
Here is a link to help you realize what are the effects of becoming a materialistic person to the environment!
