finished watching this today in class and we all asked "was this video made just to make us feel bad or what?"

@t22films It gives you an idea and of what the average person consumes through the average lifetime of a human in the developed world. It's for educational purposes, otherwise your school wouldn't screen it. :) It may also inspire people to go for more ecofriendly food and commodities and raises the awareness of consumerism and the ecological effects resulting from overconsumption.

i love statistics.

excellent show, I watched all ten parts and enjoyed every second of it. It is so sad that we waste and consume so much as Americans. We have to become more aware of what we are doing and try to fix it before it is too late. But anyways, very interesting to watch and made very well.

Don't forget that the establishment promoted us to be careless consumers. Now they show us how bad being a careless consumer is, and want us to support their solution to the problem that they created in the first place.

0:56 - end

That´s the end of the show? That´s the music credits?

That´s bad.

Im from Chile, and I heard a different song on the cretids, and was to much like Shu´s death scene in hokuto no ken.

Well, It was better i think

[Caesar0031]

I have a better idea. Why don't you all kill yourself and I'll consume what you would have consumed if you were still alive. That would even things out.

wow, and imagine that all is for one person, well, now I have some proof to the ones saying global warming is not happening, great show though (:

oh wait.. how many Americans do we have in this world? 303,824,640 appx. so in general in America, an estimated 388,895,539,200,000 pounds will be wasted with just set amount of people...wow thats in the trillions of crap wasted and used...not to say that every american is like what they said in the video, but it surely is a good guestimate of what the average is.

[RyeTwinkie]

hmm 64 tons so that in pounds is... 128000 of crap that we waste in this world...sigh
