And this is why there should be laws for companies to be fined for dumping. Why is it my responsibility to not buy more (if I chose to than the actual company doing the shady business)

[FORBIDCharlie]

Imagine watching this documentary on Netflix's standard plan with ads.

I used to be a minimalist, not and extreme one but pretty minimal with everything I brought into my life. Somehow over the last maybe 4-5 years I’ve started consuming more and more mainly clothes, shoes, accessories, makeup and fragrances. I’m starting to cut back down and not fall for the trap of buying everything that I see that’s cute and new. I definitely got caught up with FOMO for sure. I won’t be tossing what I have because I don’t think that will help environment, but I’m working on just being happy with why I currently own and getting the max use out of it all. I’ve definitely noticed a shopping addiction in my self (again, mainly with just clothes, shoes and beauty products). I’m going to put a stop to it and try not to fall for these tricks anymore

The piles of garbage in the city reminds me of Idiocracy.
Again, that movie provided to be more of a prediction of the future than anything else.

I work in a charity/thrift shop and amazon gives us stuff (mostly useless) to sell, no one ever buys it and it is always random stuff. Halloween stuff, a bathroom tap, out of date vitamins and poor quality items that probably failed quality control. We also always have to bin it but it's so amazon looks charitable when in reality they are doing it for PR and so they don't have to add the rubbish to their disposal figures.

Our economy is predicated on short term gain in exchange for long term pain. It's not sustainable.

[migul]

Its sad to see companies dump good merchandise when there are people and organizations that can use those items better, especially in Christmas season.

[ulyoctafianto]

Are you kidding me, there's a Netflix shop pop up under this trailer in my YouTube app haha

[shabbirmanji]

1:19 Graphics are so realistic especially on Sydney garbage dumping ground. 10/10 very creative

[jordanwernet]

Wall E can’t clean all this mess up, guys.

[TheNerdyGeekLife]

Great timing on the release new Black Friday cult classic is born

[avy]

I'm a recovering shopping addict and I'm excited to watch this

[mohamadnoor]

First they work in companies where they are making money by tricking you into buying stuffs. Now they are making money by speaking out against what they did in the first place. Win Win (for them)

[kellyc]

This is a really needed documentary. It is so relevant showing the dark consequences of consumption

[b-dub]

Yes! The holidays are the worst! I’m so over stuff! Sure, buying stuff feels good for a moment, but then it turns into clutter, creating anxiety & guilt. Our obsession with shopping has led to overconsumption, which has a profoundly negative impact on the environment.

We all must step up! Companies adapt to consumer demand, so by choosing sustainable brands, we can push more companies to go green.
Shop less! Gift experiences, not stuff. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle! Buy refurbished items & thrift clothes. Quality matters - better products last longer than cheap crap from Amazon.
Just like we care for our homes & stuff, we must care for our planet to have a sustainable future.

*now imagine a Documentary about streaming platforms raising their prices every year* On netflix

[pete]

I always wonder, at what point are we just going to run out of resources with all the stuff we produce and consume. I bet in a few hundred years we’re getting pretty close.

[jenniferketler]

Thank you thank you!! This message needs to be shouted from the roof tops!!

[sassyone]

Perfect, just in time for the holidays!

And the link to the Netflix Store is great to see. Make a documentary about the ugly side of consumerism and push more plastic garbage at the viewer. Netflix needs a disclaimer stating their views do not align with this documentary
