Introduction

• This topic seems to me to be interesting because we all in our environment are buyers for nature, we live in a very materialistic world that only devotes himself to think in the obtaining of things and who has better; but nobody stops thinking about on how the products that we consume are made and the effects that produce on the environment.

¿How consumerism works?

• The consumerism divides in 5 parts and works like a linear system. But in spite of the fact that this is what is known really it is not quite since many spaces are absent without filling, this is actually a system in crisis because it is a linear system that begins with extraction and ends in rejecting everything that is produced.

Extraction

Is to take out the resources from the planet for the elaboration of products or personal benefits.

Production

Later, the resources are taken to factories to make the final product which are make with toxic components

People that work there are like slaves because they’re not being paid and they work in deplourable conditions, even childs work in those conditions.
