In The Story of Stuff, by Annie Leonard argues about how Corporations have been exploiting the planet’s resources. Especially to the people in the countries that have the resources even if they’ve been living there for generations.
It is sad but true, corporations are responsible for the abuse that they are doing to the planet, because their agenda is money and nothing more. Is all over for example water companies, they have convinced pretty much the whole world that if you don’t drink water from a bottles you might as well drink from a lake or river. The funny thing is that these corporations go to these third world countries, and take the water from these lakes and rivers, and put the them in these bottles that has the most beautiful covers to make you think the water you are buying is so exclusive you have to have it, if not your lost. And the people that have been living there for generations don’t have the right to use their free water, and they end up suffering while we support these corporations become richer and more powerful which makes the government work for them and their own agenda not for the people. And it is sad because a lot of people don’t know how many lives get ruined because of us supporting the corporations, but we as people believe in the advertisement system too much, because it doesn’t show the truth of how it got there it just gives you this fantasy that you need to have it or else you are missing out on something amazing. Even I have been a victim of that and still working it, the people need to make an effort and really find out where the stuff we are buying comes from, because you might end up saving a life.
