As for solutions – the Simplicite Volontaire (Simple living?) can reduce that consumption arrow.

Especially if your medium is a streaming media animation. ;-) So it could have been clearer, yes, and less “preaching to the choir”. But the message is nevertheless an important one, and I think the treatment of it — despite the one-sidedness– will appeal to a fairly broad base of people. And that’s good.

I do wish though that the video talked more about solutions, in addition to the problems. I’m tired of people pushing the fear button as the main motivator for change.

However, her message is clouded with too much hyperbole and partisan political messaging so it’s hard to figure out how much of what she is saying is true and how much she’s exaggerating.

Ultimately, I get a “I’m better than you cuz I don’t buy new computer monitors and cheap radio’s” vibe off her. I didn’t see her present anything about things like RoHS and other standards of safe disposal. And I wonder what the buttons on her shirt are made of? Hopefully not metal or plastic…
