The Human Footprint we leave behind.
The film Human Footprint is designed to open up your mind and to show what really happens and what we use during our life time. It includes everything from the diapers we wear as babies all the way up to the pills we will devour in our later years.
I could not believe the amount of stuff that we really go through. The film couldn't cover every little thing but got all of the basics. I will always think twice when buying something and thinking, maybe it can wait. What really threw me back was that a man will spend roughly $55,000 just on clothes! Are you kidding me?! Thats like 2 years of pay just going to clothes. And that number is just for men! They couldn't even come up with a number for women. Or they just decided not to show it.
Everything we use in our life time touches at least every country in some way. A car for instance is made up of pieces from roughly 20 countries. This part is from here and this part is from there. Its crazy how this world is all dependent on trade and imports.
This film has really opened my eyes to what I have bought so far. And there is much, much more to come.
