Can somebody explain to me and give specific examples of the bias of this?

The consumerism and materialism are huge issue, but it isn't unique to Americans or modern day. Alexis de Tocqueville noticed and wrote about this. Neither are left wing bs are not answers. There is so much conspiracy shit without proper evidence. Occam's razor.
-
There is so much straw man and exaggeration. It is out of date, that is some what forgivable. It grossly oversimplified everything. It screams left-wing idiocy. The point is lost, and it is hard to take seriously.

All the people in the comments standing up for corporations, just go fucking kill yourself. You are what is wrong with this society. You side with people who are literally destroying the fucking world. You're all fucking morons. Just keep buying useless fucking garbage and ignore the inevitable. You make me fucking sick.

Thank you! I don't know why I didn't see this before. I thought this was just an idea but you have made my thoughts a science.

Why am I forced to watch this

It is an amazing video, this lady knows how to explain all these global problems we face nowadays. It is fascinating how enthusiastically she explains these problems with simple drawings. I have to add something else, I've just seen the English version but with Spanish subtitles, I believe the translation is very good indeed!
I recommend the viewing of this video to you all!
Thank you! Annie Leonard for providing these great explanations about how the world could be a much better place if we all understood it a bit more, and contribute to change our bad habits, it would be better for us, and the generations to come.
MUCHAS GRACIAS.

My teacher made me watch this bullshit video...

i'm only here for a school assignment, and now, i fell like a little asshole

The problem is we have to many people outright, if we eliminated say
6,500,000,000 people then that would go a long way towards solving the problem. We have to become hunter-gatherer again to be sustainable. -
1. Too bad people commenting 'bias' without knowing the meaning of the word. "Oh I don't agree with one or few things she says in the video, BIAS!!!"
2. I cringed whenever i heard the word 'toxin' but in the bigger picture, she has a point. There is a huge inefficiency in utilising resources. For privileged parts of the world we are able to provide beyond our survival needs and this is taken for granted.
3. There is nothing inherently wrong with consumption itself. It's the type of goods and the rate it's produced that we're being asked to re-evaluate. The corporations would have one believe that buying their product is the only way to happiness (because the majority of people don't wake up and think "fuck, I'm going to try to be miserable today!); but in doing so, one is very probable to facilitate the conditions that leads to diminished happiness. -
this is gay

this is so cool!

Why do we have to watch this

The number of life's In this purely propaganda video are astounding. Please do some research before blindly believing. First of all, computers are not just upgraded by a single chip that has a year in it. What a bold face lie, in fact she proves that herself with her statement about her coworker. If computers are only upgraded by one tiny chip, why is here coworkers computer thin ? And hers big??
Secondly 50% or more of our taxes do not go to the military. That is a bold face, terrible terrible lie that can be refuted by a quick look at the federal budget spendings which say it's about 16% percent. Please do your research kids -
1% of goods are kept more than six months? -this would need to be substantiated. Also, as to ads-turn off the commercial TV-how hard is that?
-
These freakin democrats are taking over all of the media why should I have to listen to this communist propaganda.
-
99% is trashed, that's some interesting data you have there.
