The Worst Product Ever

Waste is super not simple...so we have ways of simplifying it in our heads. The Flexplay DVD gives us insight into exactly how that works. We decide whether it's OK to throw something away by thinking about how valuable it is. A plastic bottle is just a container that holds something, but a DVD is the thing I purchased! Or...is it?

Thanks to Technology Connections for sending me the disc!
