"Kaufen für die Müllhalde" (now also in French and English)
Falls ihr es noch nicht getan habt, solltet ihr unbedingt die ARTE Doku "Kaufen für die Müllhalde" kucken. Das Video ist nicht mehr bei ARTE online, aber nette Menschen haben es bei Youtube hochgeladen. Es geht um das eingebaute Verfallsdatum von Produkten, die sogenannte geplante Obsoleszenz, um unsere Wegwerfkultur und den Mythos von Wachstum, Wachstum über alles.
ETA.
falena tracked down the French version so let's try this again for anyone interested. This is an ARTE documentary about the built-in expiration date of products (planned obsolescence), the myth of constant economic growth and what we Germans call "Wegwerfkultur", the Western propensitive to constantly dispose of products before they've ended their lifecycle and buy new ones just to throw them away shortly after. The film can be found here on youtube.
ETA2: Now also in English (with Norwegian subtitles): Pyramids of Waste.
