A Story of Stuff Summary

"The Stuff" is a 20-minute video announced by Annie Leonard and his friends in December 2007 to explain our material lifecycle in detail. Since its launch, the popularity of videos has soared rapidly, recording over 30 million viewers worldwide. While it is very useful to see the life cycle of our product from the beginning to the end, for the purpose of this blog, we focus on the last two steps of the cycle, consumption and disposal. If you are extremely impressed, look at the length of the video. It is summarized below.

Annie explained that only 6% of products purchased are still in use for six months since being sold in North America. This caused 99% of our remaining to be declared as waste after 6 months. In the past 50 years, the number of products consumed by one person has doubled. Ann also pointed out the change in our way of thinking about consumption after the Second World War. In order to promote economic development, Victor Lebo, a retail analyst, said the next "new thing" to provide us with the increasing consumption of our culture and the economic growth we need, We propose to turn into landscaping with need of. His plan is effective. We can see the sustained impact today as well.

Two ways to succeed this increased consumerism plan are planned and considered to be outdated. Planned expiration is the purpose of sustaining a specific thing for a while. The manufacture of the product allows them to last for a minimum time, it still gives you confidence in the product, so you will buy another product. Another good example of an outdated plan is the transition to the charging port on the iPhone. These changes are forcing consumers to constantly buy new products to suit the very small changes they make. Perceptual obsolescence depends on changes in cultural concepts and trends, not on the actual function of the product itself. An obvious example is the fashion industry where the seasonal trend continues. Advertising and media play a big role in this regard.

The next step in the chain is the disposal. In the US, ordinary people put out 5 pounds of garbage a day. Our garbage is thrown away on the ground, burned in the beginning and the rest of the garbage is thrown into the basement. Both cause a lot of pollution. Waste incinerators release all the toxins used to return the product to the atmosphere and in many cases produce worse toxins. Recycling is useful, but that alone is inadequate. Ann pointed out a new way of future and consumerism. She emphasizes sustainability, green chemistry, zero waste, closed loop production, renewable energy and is helping to transform the current linear cycle into a cycle cycle.

Through the story of Annie, she not only educates people about the dangers and drawbacks of our current process, but also encourages viewers to do something to change it. "The old way will not happen, it's not like the gravity we lived in. People made it, we are human beings so let's make a new one."

A very interesting story of Anne Leonard - a story of something explaining how 20 minutes of video works. This is an interesting story, this is my comment and summary. I agree with most of her views, but not all. She said, "Since this system is a linear system, it is in fact in danger, we live on a limited planet.You can not move linear systems infinitely on infinite systems "I mentioned. I personally like this statement and agree. The essence of "excerpt" is that "our resources are insufficient" and I agree with this. The reason is simple as it uses too many unnecessary ones. The fact that I said, for example, 80% of the undeveloped forests of the Earth disappeared, I was surprised that 2,000 trees were lost per minute at Amazon etc.

From now on, before you post a story, please write a summary of lines 2-3. Is it convincing? What elements of the summary makes it unique? If all the favorite content about the story is not included in the summary, the story may need to function. If you can write down your story overview in few lines, I may do the same, it will ensure that I will send it to my editor.

This seems to be suitable for text summarization system. But it did not tell you the other side of the story. A machine generated summary (system summary) can be very long and incorporates all the words in the reference summary. However, many of the words included in the system outline are useless, unnecessarily lengthening the summary. Well, this looks bad, is not it? This is because there are many unnecessary words in the summary. Trying to create a brief summary makes the aspect of accuracy very important. Therefore it is best to calculate accuracy and recovery rate at the same time and then report F-Measure.
