THE
STORY OF STUFF
Introduction
The STORY OF STUFF is very long and very complex . In this video we can
see some of the chains for the stuff from the raw materials to the end goods.
And we can see how the material's factory is working and affects the natural life and the
original people .
We come to the customers , the last chain in the stuff
story and the temptation to buy the goods
and more goods is high . After they use it they throw it in the garbage,
We will face big trouble with the mountains of garbage , and pollutions IF WE
DON’T CONTROL THIS PROCESS.
Extraction
First thing in
the stuff story and in the chain of the process it is extraction of raw materials. According to the final
product if it wood
for example they start cut the forests and take the big trees to the factory. In
one minute they cutting about 5 football pitches , it's mean in one week they cut about 40000 km2 in one year more than the total Saudi
Arabia area.
In the extraction of wood which happens to the nature this is a great injustice because cutting trees is not equal with reconstruction of the forests. It
does not allow them to rehabilitate
it self .
Production
The second step in stuff story is production . Production is defined as which
transferring the raw material from
natural case or state to form factor
. for human consummation . First step movement the material from their
sources and but in the factory with air
and water to generate the energy
The problem is not about
consumption of nature materials , but to
create a harmful environment .The production line needs of natural materials like oxygen, water, oil and many of many chemical substances and toxic
, This materials when it exhausted from
the environment , leave behind repellent environment , without any life resources.
Distribution
The distribution process and storing
products require many and big equipment
.This equipment when it's doing its job ,withdraws a lot of energy and
power to move and doing its job ,Each
type of stuff needs special service ,
some items need cooling and heavy
vehicle , on the other ways those equipment generate a lot of toxic substances and contaminated gases. This process moves products to the
consumer to buy, these products come
from all over the world .
Consumption
The last chain it’s the consumer all
those process it's for the consumer the weak at chain port, is to create more
stuff and get more temptation to the people to buy more stuff , Without caring
about the surrounding environment the customers bow to the offers and sheep
prices and buy everything in the way .After that they throw it in the garbage and buy more consumable stuff. We while face a
big trouble with a mountain of waste , the toxic waste starts showing and the
serious diseases which affects our bodies .And the influence of physiological
and health, is strong apparent in our communities
.What can we do ?IF we not reduce our consumption and take things seriously we
will be heading for the abyss .
Disposal
The disposal its largest crime after the extraction in the right
environment."
Virtually all the resources flowing through the materials economy eventually
end up as to be disposed somewhere"(Stuff of story ,2007) . those what we toking
about it , where the toxic material and solid waste goes . the earth will not
analyzes quickly the consumable materials . for example to
analyze the plastic need more than 200
years to analyzing . The waste piles of the
remains of the old batteries and plastics, paper
and empty drink cans ,etc….
It's a serious problem around the world. While non-existent as waste collection schemes in rural areas in most countries, such schemes are available in large cities and industrialized countries . Even on the surface of the moon, they tend to leave the dirt behind them . In fact, we can recycle and reuse most our waste so much .So that the process of recycling waste in landfills.
Waste from large cities turned into a source of livelihood for many people. However, many of the remaining materials cannot be reused. The question is: What is the period of time required for the degradation of our waste and disappearance? Some
Answers to this question may be terrifying.

UAE Consumption
Became
the talk about activating the issue of consumer protection in the UAE should be
imposed that seen in the economic arena, most notably the growing phenomena of
rising prices at rates reaching for example in food and consumer goods to 20%
over last year, and spread cases of commercial fraud, and consumer fraud. It's
interesting that in a country like the UAE numbness voracious consumer culture of the citizens, there is only one association only concerned with consumer protection, the "Emirates Association for Consumer Protection"
We spend money on luxury items and events is
not necessary, in order to show off and love of history and
to compensate the lack of certain social .
