1. We've been "consumers" for only a few decades. Through the '70s, we were still "producers". That's a short memory!
2. It assumes that all the world's population equally uses consumer products. Um, yeah, Africa, Middle East much of Asia, no. The West is wasteful, yes, but this video is even moreso.
3. I've heard of "resource scarcity" before...another failed '70s concept. Feel free to bring these concepts into the 21st century, please, thanks.
This is so embarrassing on so many levels...philosophy, history, science, etc. Wish the folks who put this together were a little less PC and a little more savvy about reality. But of course, I'm not a consumer for this video.
Can you provide any examples or where you find this practice not working? If not I am interested in hearing why you disagree, besides just stating you disagree. In my field (general contracting) these practices have been a key making in higher profit margins. This has lead to most people I carry these discussions in agreement (it is easy to think your doing right when everyone agrees around you.) With that I am always interested to see why you disagree.
Excellent video. My company is a tech startup whose offerings are delivered as a service. The 'as-a-service' delivery methodology often blows its trumpet about sustainability but really can't articulate anything beyond the data center cost saving on energy for multi-tenancy application hosting. In my humble opinion there's nothing much C2C about that! Tech industry marketers are seriously guilty of riding the buzzword. I'd love to explore the concept of applying the C2C message without the buzz.
