Response to The Story Of Stuff Video

I just finished watching The Story Of Stuff video by Annie Leonard. Throughout the video, Annie was talking about how those who are in charge of managing trash create a pretty picture of their actual dirty work. They affect much more than what they say they do. That statement automatically interested me to continue watching. She thoroughly explained how we are losing forests in order to make room for landfills. It's come to that. Natural forests all chopped away. The part that interested me the most was when she mentioned how by just going "green", bringing reusable bags to the grocery store or recycling bottles and cans is resolving our problem completely. Sure, it is helping, but that does not come close to saving economic and political structures of our waste. Following on that statement, I feel that we need to start our improvements from the core of the issue. We need to set companies,small businesses, and restaurants on standardized regulations that gives a limit to how much trash they should throw away. Setting a certain limit like this could drastically change the amount of trash we make daily.
