Leonard focuses on educating the general public on consumerism and first begins by introducing the life stages of a product and highlighting the destructive nature of the 'linear system' and its destructive nature as well as the implications that this has on the earth.

Videos such as this inspire future designers to be wary of the choices they make whilst designing a product, and also the lasting affect unsustainable design has on the environment and our infinite sources into the future. By observing the possible affects and minimising the impacts through thoughtful design, it encourages a more sustainable future and a stronger economy.
