Garbology chapter 3

     Televsion has a horrible affect on everything. It makes the obesity rates higher and it causes the most important problem; more trash. This chapter points out the needs and want sin a person life. TV has a big impact on why people keep buying things and throwing them away. The commercials and tv shows make people want to buy things that they dont need. For example, commercials shows how some grocery stores have coupons or sales, what people do is that they'd go the that specific store and buy everything that is on sale. They go back home and maybe no one would eat what has been bought they will take it and throw it away which makes more trash. People lose money for trash. They take everything and throw it away. If people start to control themselves and not buy everything they want just to throw it away there would be less trash and less landfills. People should also recycle to help the environment and give the workers at the landfills less work to do.
