My story of Stuff

 My story of Stuff

            We have big trouble in our lives: We are killing the only planet we have for living in. Is it our decision to kill our planet or are we programmed by other people to do that unconsciously?  We are preys of propaganda everyday when we watch TV, listen to the radio, read tabloids, magazines and ads or whatever information that we receive. The big magnates are playing with our lives, using us like puppets.  They use their power to tell us what to do through other puppets of theirs. They make us believe that they possess the truth and that we need to follow them.  The information they give us has the main purpose of making us believe that consumerism is the rule to follow in our lives, but they never say they want us to act like that just for money and power.  They do not care about anyone is quality of life or about exploited children. They will destroy the Amazon; they will take up to the last tree on the planet; they will exhaust all of our minerals because they just want money.  We need to start doing something. Are we waiting for someone else to recycle, not to buy unnecessary articles, not to fall in the traps of advertising…?  I want to be clear: advertising is not the bad thing in this situation because there is positive advertising, but the good people do not have much money for advertising as much as the villains do.  If we do not start now, who is going to take care of our home?  Remember, we have no other place to go.
