One chip in a computer is all that needs changed- I looked up changes for a mac between years and there are more than just a chip change, but the difference is so slight that it doesn’t really change performance. http://www.imore.com/macbook-pro-retina-display-13-inch-vs-15-inch-which-powerful-mac-laptop-right-you We see over 3,000 ads a day?- this is correct anywhere from 2,000 to 20,00 http://www.fluiddrivemedia.com/advertising/marketing-messages/ We need over 4 earths at the rate we are going- this is correct http://www.footprintnetwork.org/en/index.php/GFN/page/calculators/ Planned obsolesce- designed for the dump- make stuff to be useless as quickly as possible so we toss and buy more. Perceived obsolesce –Companies convince us to throw away stuff that still works, do this to get us to buy more by changing the looks. It was very informative and gave a lot of good points. It makes me think twice before I buy something in style because in a couple months it will be out and I will have lost money. I think that it could be expanded on but 21 minutes was long enough.

The video on the West Virginia coal mining and destruction of the land made me sad. I have heard people say that coal is bad, but I thought most of that was due to the toxins it caused to go in the atmosphere. This video showed me that the new technique to coal mines is destroying the land, and that the old technique of going under the mountains is dangerous, but allows for more people to have jobs. I think that there has to be a way that we can get energy from other resources, preserve the mountains/land, and create jobs. This mountain top removal video was cool from the standpoint that it was fun to watch a mountain literally be blown up. However, the people who lived and grew up with these mountains probably don’t feel the same. I think that hearing the sadness that the people feel and what is actually caused when we blow off the tops of mountains, makes me feel sorry and want to help these people. This problem doesn’t affect me personally the website said, but I guarantee that it does in a way that I don’t know. It’s hard to want to do something to help someone when you are not directly affected too, but after watching the videos on the topic, it does make me open to helping, since I would hope someone would help me if people wanted to destroy the land I grew up with. This video on the solar towers in Spain is eye opening. It tells that if government could put forth the money and subsidy for these towers, we could stop using the resources that are limited on earth. It said that enough sunlight hits earth in 1 hour that could run the entire the world electricity for 1 year. This video is awesome! I love this guy he is awesome because of the ideas he wants to do to help his community. He wants to grow gardens to feed people who don’t have access to fresh food. It is a beautiful, creative, and helpful way to make the city look better, and give people food that will be good for them. I read up on Chevron and found out that there is a law suit going on with them that would make them give Ecuador 19 billion dollars for damage done to them. I also learned that this case has been ongoing and from the views of the author, chevron is using their money to run from the law. http://www.ibtimes.com/chevron-vs-ecuador-19-billion-environmental-contamination-case-takes-more-bizarre-turns-new-york
