Annie brings the point across that everything we do in life makes an impact on the earth. As designers we are responsible for everyday products which use the manufacturing techniques which cause the problems as shown in the video.
Annie reveals to us the facts about a products life cycle from manufacturing to waste. Some of the statistics given about America are quite shocking. Although people already know that recycling needs to be done, they probably don't realise that the recycling part is only a tiny part of the life cycle and the manufacturing part is a major contributor to the current environmental problems.
Manufacturing companies need to find other solutions for materials instead of ravaging countries for their resources. They should look at sustainable development such as paper forests etc... Landfills need to be removed and more recyclable materials need to be developed while phasing out current toxic and harmful materials.
