Price Of Consumption

[neoj88]

I agree with the message of this video but disliked it due to the improper images trying to link it all together. Go from bananas and sugar to dead people. No concrete correlation made between the two.

[jerlstif]

ppl who buy things they need and want and dont know the ways which those products made it to their shevles are not to blame for the harmful actions of a few other ppl they've never met...and playing sad music to these scenes will not make anyone stop buying the things they need or want. if you wanna change something then why dont you produce items ppl need in your humane way

[circusoflife]

know DIE SELF. Enemy --> IN ME

[DEW409]

What a load of Cr*p. Amazing, the ignorance of the younger generation. You suppose food will just fall in your mouth? You sit at your computer, nonproductive. You think shelter, heat, light are optional? Try living outside, in the winter. It takes work to provide all these things. Try doing some, then see if you want to give all the fruits of your labors to all the parasites lining up to get what you have. The Obama mindset is truly destructive. I fear for this country as never before.

Only GIFT ECONOMY can save us - FREE WATER, FREE LAND, FREE FOOD, FREE EDUCATION ... to all 7 billion people out of friendship and work-passion (in the image of wikipedia). No greed, no manipulations would be needed any more! Yes, we can work for each other FOR FREE - WE ARE HUMANS BEINGS! "Our law" defends only the right for making profit - so, we need MOTHERS' ETHICS instead patriarchal laws

[GTXMAN]

@gifteconomy12 ok,who is going to give me free water and free food?

[gifteconomy12]

@GTXMAN Free waters, FREE FOOD, FREE SPACE, FREE LAND, FREE GOLD, FREE PETROL... are real human BIRTHRIGHTS - the society could/should guarantee to all 6 billion people their rights on water, food, land, minerals--- without no life is possible. The law should protect our right ON FAIR SHARE of all Earth's good! The community/the socity should claim its real rights! A new born into this worl should have all these rights GUARANTEED - there is more than enough to share, but law creates scarcity..

[gifteconomy12]

@GTXMAN ... today all farmers all over the world ARE PAID for not to produce - the gvt want feed us with insects, animal corps... while only Brazil could feed the entire world population! The gvts all over the world want us remain dependend on their "provisions", their "food"! Google/youtube: GIFT ECONOMY, PERSONAL SOVEREIGNTY, danger fluoride... We have to stand up and claim our real RIGHTS that were stolen from a tiny aristocrats/theocrats elits. Working for FREE is FREEDOM!

[GTXMAN]

@gifteconomy12 They havnt stole any rights dude,your dreaming..

[gifteconomy12]

@GTXMAN your RIGHT TO DRINK all WATERS FOR FREE, TO EAT FROM ANY TREE, TO ENJOY ANY MINERALS... to MOVE AND ENJOY SPACE ALL AROUND THE WORLD - these rights were stolen from Egyptian theocracy that reserved this right only for Pharao/themselves... they lived from donations, slave abuse... while giving them slave salary: 3,5l beer/day/slave... they keep slaves alcoholized, stupid, dumb down... just like today they give people psychotrops, fluoride, glucose... and alcohol too!

[GTXMAN]

@gifteconomy12 Alright,But you know nobody gives a shit so why bother? lets just give up and except it? Cuz we cant change and we never will till we die.

[gifteconomy12]

@GTXMAN COULD WE NOT TRY TO CHANGE THE THINGS? Why should we believe that those satanists who rule can stay forever on power and rape our children, rape our Earth...? Why not try?

Let us claim all for free and work only for free!

[GTXMAN]

@gifteconomy12 Many people Much smarter then us Tried and failed.You cant change something thats not wanna change.Just give up on the human species and youll feel much better.BTW read my post about switzerland,what do you have to say about that?

[GTXMAN]

@gifteconomy12 Besides,You live in Switzerland which is a wicked country! with low crime rates,True democracy,no corruption,Good education. What more could you ask for!

[gifteconomy12]

@GTXMAN ... but high radioactive pollution, high freemasons concentration, robotic education... No, there is no future here! We have to change everything - no borders, no religions... everybody could/should live where he wants to live! Many scientific studies show that human NATURE IS ALTRUIST - normal people are social beings who love to share - only the tiny elits that rule is satanic - it COULD BE EASY to change everything - let wake people up - let stand up

[GTXMAN]

@gifteconomy12 Man chill the fuck out seriously.Like ive said Your living in a wicked Country Switzerland,Go out and chill alright ?

[Probesoul]

That's it...blame it all on the consumer

[frabjousness]

this is pretty good at showing the effects of what we choose to buy, and the consequences of being an uneducated, unconcerned consumer

[Arkinight]

Is that the Soulsavers music in the background?

[theoriginalanomaly]

Civilization is quite brutal. To most inside of civilization it seem so much more "civilized" then the savage way of life. But the savagery of any advanced civilization far out weighs tribal savagery. It is disgusting to watch... but watching body snatching wasps, spiders, orcas, sharks, and any other creatures can also be quite grotesque. There are two sides to nature. One that we love to look at and watch, the other we hide from ourselves. Life is frail, and yet resilient.

[HighNortherner]

Anyone wondering why someone hijacked jumbo jets and flew them into the World Trade Center? Well, watch this video, the read the comments of the dumb asses who posted before me.

Consumption isn't America's only problem. Stupidity ranks #1.

[DmonHiro]

Yes, it is worth it, so that I feel good.

[BurnsideStudios08]

HA HA HA you think you feel good but you don't. You keep wanting more to feel that void. You buy something it goes away but soon enough you want more so you keep buying. You're just a puppet.

[DmonHiro]

Uhm...not really. After I buy a PC, why would I want another? Maybe after about 3 years. If I buy an LCD, why would I want another? If I buy a car, why would I buy another car? Oh, you mean food? Well, DUH, of course I'll want to buy more food after the one I bought is over. I have to eat, so I buy food. You mean to tell me you don't buy food?

[nocturnezero]

No, he's right. You buy Swedish furniture and handmade dishware from Wherever and fine curtains and beautiful doorknobs and you redo your carpet and wallpaper and replace all your kitchen utensils, but eventually, you've forgotten yourself and what it means to be human. You sacrifice identity for property, and lose yourself to this nest you've built. The things you own end up owning you.

[DmonHiro]

BTW: You can't think you are feeling good, and actually feel bad. It's impossible, unless you are on drugs.

[nocturnezero]

No, it's not.

[TravistyCH]

Well the resources didnt just magicly fall from the sky did they? Copying clips from FACE'S OF DEATH is a copyright violation. Now that has been said we die and everything on this planet dies and or is consumed by something. Everything has its perpous but people. We are the AIDS of the planet and there is no cure for our meaningless destruction,consumption and thirst for power.

[demexii1]

Needs more upbeat music.

[mickeymoo26]

is it worth it....hmmm......yeah.

I will keep on buying more and more. I like my Lifestyle

-GenY the "me" generation.

[kellter70]

genY the genocide generation

[mickeymoo26]

Gen Y the "want" generation

[ModelAnarchist]

The beginning of this video makes me hungry

[zody5]

Earth can satisfy mans need but not mans greed.

[Willhartha]

Every system goes to balance. There are people that consume too much and there SHOUL BE people that consume rationally. Each of us has to change his own life. By changing ourselves we become an ideal for others.

[purepoisonelixir]

devenez vegan

[punkpirate33]

become veggie

[UcanbeGOD]

ROFL! "become veggie" sounds more like a zombie chant than an ideology. Kind of reminds me of "jooooiiiiin uuuuuus" from the Evil Dead movies. But I share the same sentiment.

Become Veggie! :)

[Nitzer69]

I like how they leave the images on a little longer than is comfortable.

[gecoco]

It's not easy for people to change all the sudden and I don't see it happening any time sooner even though that is where we are headed. we have to keep in mind that some people can't afford organic products. There are many people in this planet who want to make a change, but they just don't have the means. A person who has $100 to feed multitude of children, she/he will go for the cheaper ones that happen to be "bad stuff" that America has to offer.

[AnarchoAlan]

Powerful stuff..... it's the same old story, they lie we die ! it's time we stood up to ALL governments, we will not take this shit anymore, i want a planet fit to live in for my children and their children to come. excellent video... keep up the good work.

[nocturnezero]

ALL governments? How about you try CHANGING the government instead of outright ABOLISHING it so it protects YOUR values and beliefs, instead of irrationally speaking out against it? Governments are answerable to the people they govern. Corporations are what I know you really want brought down, and me too, with the same vehemency.

[pyork2007]

Solution: "Buy Nothing!" Or buy only what you need from local markets and green manufacturers and try as much as possible to "live off the grid." Between peak oil and climate change, that's where we're headed anyway. The shame is that so much unecessary death is happening. Future generations will never forgive us. Stop driving, stop flying, go vegan. Become a responsible member of this planet.

[opeter1]

I totally agree... but you know, as I do, that most of people will not change. And the same thing know the corporations and western governmenst.

[GTXMAN]

@pyork2007 And what if I dont? Just for the sake of argument .

[1XMarksSpot]

@pyork2007 LOL Climate Change is a hoax.  Go vegan? No thanks.

[TreeHerder]

This are some of the worst things in the world. why did we let this happen? :-<

[BizzyBeMe]

first of all, i recognize the girl from that love links commercial.... she's on that TV show LOST. funny. more importantly, i think this is a wonderful video for addressing the issue of consumerism and it's nasty little secrets, which aren't so little. finally i want to thank you for sharing it because not enough people realize what they are doing to the earth & how easy it is to begin to stop our practices of pollution and immoral abundance. well worth five stars.

[ninuchi]

it's a messed up world...and we humans did this to ourselves...
