Discussion and questions1. In how far are the problems as urgent as ‘The
Story of Stuff’ suggests?
2. What is your opinion on ‘The golden arrow’ of consumption. Do you think it influences your own behavior?
3. Do you know examples of the externalization of costs?
4. What do you expect of this course? What do you hope to learn or to discuss?
18
The presentation in week 3 and 4
1. Search for reliable sources 2. Search for telling photographs, statistics,
cartoons, news items and video fragments
3. Take care of a transparent, attractive and logic structure
4. Do not try to do everything: take two or three telling examples.

What themes pop up unto your mind?

Statistics can tell a lot!
21
Pictures can tell a lot!

Comparisons can tell a lot!
If everyone in the UK abstained from eating meat five days a week…
this would save more than the emission reductions, which would be achieved if the total electricity use of all households in the UK was eliminated
