Homework for Wednesday 3th November

1) How does advertising influence consumption?
When people watch a advertisement that really attractive and match their hobbies, they will buy it even though they don't really need it. So that will increase out footprint in the world wasting fossil fuel, gasses, metal and all another natural resources. But if people advertising about people using too much natural resources, maybe people can chang the way they spend shopping and that could help a lot.

2) Do you think citizens are sufficiently informed about the sustainability of our consumption habits? If not, how can we become more informed about sustainability issues?
I think some people are not very  very informed of their consumption. We can recycle it like paper and water. When you buy something, think clearly about it and maybe choose something that is the closet to sustainable or something that are sustainable. If they are not sutainable, maybe you should use it for a long time instead of buying new things everyday. 


3) Do you think these advertising techniques influence what you and your friends purchase?
It will effect our purchase in some way. In one year, we definitely need to buy a lot of things that are advertised and not. But sometimes, the advertisement is just so great and you can't resist to check it out... You have to go buy it and try so it will effect the purchase.
