Speaking for myself, this global economic crisis is an unprecedented <strong>wake up</strong> call for our generation this is <strong>the economic crisis of our lifetime</strong>. We Gen-X, Gen-Y, etc. need to remake this world that we live in, there are many things that are just wrong, and we're heading in the wrong direction.
One thing that we can change is, we need to wake up from this consumerism nightmare and stop the destruction of ourselves and our planet.
I highly recommend this video for school age children and <strong>conspicuous consumers adults</strong> ;-p.
I'm going sit together with my 5th grader and watch it, it's my job as dad to do it, I'm going to be showered with questions, it's going to be an interesting experience.
The animation work in this video is very creative and cool.
