Annie Leonard: The Story of Stuff

This video is very different to what the previous reflection videos have been, this one portrays a very different meaning and a very important one at that. The most important message from this video i believe is the trashing of environments all around the world, so of natural resources are slowly diminishing. Another point is that the waste we produce, this is a very important matter. like in the video computers are being wasted because we are changing a tiny thing in the software which makes people buy new ones and dispose there old ones. Through this it leads to disposal and the waste we produce leads to the pollution of of air, land and water.

Through this as a industrial designer, it just emphasises we should take very good use of our resources and not just waste it, we can use it in different ways or different purposes. So recycling is a important as we need to be taking care of our natural resources and not just wasting it.

Just on how it changes our view on design, it makes one think that we need to be very careful in what we are doing and hopefully learning about the environment around us as we find good measures to protect in the world we live in

Experience Enrichment


My product is a fork which has a cap like top which makes it become a spoon through a slotting method. Without the top it is a fork for such foods like noodles and with top on it can be used for food like yogurt. My targeted users are young primary children who bring lunches made from their mums to school, with this product it gives a choice in what to use with a variety of foods. This product provides something different to primary kids and would be a nice fitting to the lunch boxes
