Final Paper Blog Post 2. Process

In doing some research about the green movement and it actually stands for I can conclude that it wont change the direction of our disposable society.  Going green is definitely helping the environment and its an important movement with real results.  But its only a minor dent into the growing problem that Slade describes in Made to Break.  The problem is much more involved then car pooling and buying a green light bulb.  It is in our mindsets that we must constantly purchase new products such as cars and cell phones even before our previous one is inoperable.  The second fact is that almost everything we buy is planned to not last very long.  Advancements in technology and constantly evolving the products that we use everyday requiring us to keep up with the times and purchase the newest, most advanced products.  The green movement is good, but unless it puts a stop to the advancement of technology, I don't think it will change the fact that we live in a disposable society.
