He is buying a phone because he threw out his perfectly working phone out. He did that because a new phone was in style and all the ads on T.V made it look so modern and high-tech
Here is Pickles buying a cell phone
Little does Pickles know that because he bought a phone he did not need, iron, aluminium, copper, lead etc. would need to be mined by explosions, and tat is bad for the environment (vibrations, noise, and dust and chemical contamination
After the extraction processes comes the assembly. Workers are put in unsafe conditions to make these things, all because they have no choice, because they need money badly
What is this? Story of Stuff? I guess ill watch it
How is something so modern and high tech only 150 dollars? I suppose I will look up the manufacturing processes.
After watching the video he swore that he would never buy anything he did not need to, no matter how new or cool it is
As Pickles watched the video, he realised how much throwing away his perfectly working cell phone to buy the new model impacted the environment in a negative way
As for what I did with my older perfectly working phone, instead of throwing it away, I ave it to my younger brother who had no need for a phone yet.

My personal connection with this is that I ave been in this situation before. There was a new phone model and i wanted it, so i saved up the money and I could eventually afford it.
