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 .
