1. Relating The Story of Stuff to Culture:
As a mother, I understand the importance of nutrition and its value to a child while breastfeeding. I was shocked to hear the facts that this video clip presented with the relationship of breastfeeding and reproductive toxins and synergistic chemicals. Breastfeeding is the most common cultural practices for cultures all over the world, and to realize that our government is encouraging these chemicals to be exposed to the infants are extremely disappointing. Doctors, nutritionist and local programs, for example WIC, encourage breastfeeding. This is a cultural practice and the greatest source of nutrition for an infant. The chemicals are not only affecting our environment, but the ways of our culture and lifestyle.
2. The three systems that they connect to sustainability are

b. Environment

3. Sustainability, Communication and Culture:
This video used a very creative way to display the truth about the world that we live in. The statistics that were presented were very shocking and distressing. To me, this video clip displayed how much the economy, the government and the people have contributed negatively to the earth’s current state. No one “gives a dam” anymore.
