Story of stuff

I have recently watch a video called "The story of stuff" which tells us about where the stuff we buy in stores comes from and where they go.
Well there are not many of the consumers all over the world that think about where the stuff come from and why they are so cheap, also what consequences the production of the goods does on the enviroment we live in.
Consumption is good for the economy but there always someone who has to pay for it. I mean the natural resources shrinks as we use metals, wood and other things in the production, the clean air that we breath get more and more poisened by the smoke from the factories. All of this we have to pay for when the it comes to an end.
But the question is will it ever come to an end, when we don´t have any clean air to breath in and no natural resources to produce new goods. No i don´t think so, the humanbeing is a smart creature we will solve this problem before it´s too late by make goods that are more freindly to the enviroment that can be recycled many times, and during that time the world can rehabilitate it self.
The people who got to make this happen is the consumers, the factory managers and also the goverment. We all have to work for this without that anyone loose on it. Remember the workers who produces the goods got to have something to live on and if we stop consume some of thier goods they get no wage. So it has to be balanced in a good way.
