In this report, US researcher Annie Leonard talks about consumerism and the strategies used to encourage it, the electronic waste's destination in the world and the companies' and governments' behavior regarding these matters.
Consumerism is, beyond doubt, one of capitalism's trademarks. Every day, we are bombarded with ads that try to sell us a huge amount of products, many of which we don't need, but which will determine whether we are in or out of fashion.

Cmax System
In 2001, a young Industrial Desing student of a public university, finished his course of studies in the middle of a political and socioeconomic crisis in Argentina. The thesis that led to his diploma offered a solution for the housing crisis suffered by areas devastated by disasters. The project: a foldable pipe structure with chemical toilets that could be assembled in a matter of minutes to be habitable inmediatly after the disaster.
Many years later, in 2013, the designer Nicolás García Mayor would have the opportunity to present his Cmax System to members of the UN and make his Project a reality.
