Not just that, the product is very often inferior to something we get for free. The short film starts by explaining the concept of manufacture demand. When companies want to sell a product for which there is no real demand, they try to create an artificial demand. Demand for bottled drinking water is made by spreading rumors that tap water is unsafe for human consumption, and by claiming that the ...

In most cases when we think of pollution very rarely do we spare a moment or two to think of ecological footprints of the shoes on our feet, the cap on our heads nor the shirts on our backs (Claudio). Instead, all we think of is the raw sewage piped into our watercourses; we envision the emissions from the textile and coal industries, our bare-stripped forested landscapes, and the municipal wastes piling on our streets and landfills (Sweeney). The bitter and unfortunate truth, however, is that the overall impact of the apparel industry on our plant is quite grim ( ...

Background information

Rainfall is available to everyone in most areas of the planet. In the tropical rain forests for example, the main source of rain as many are taught in high school, is the rain forest: therefore the more the forest coverage, the more the rain.

The rainfall in this case ...
