Stuff (noun), Space (noun), storage (noun), footprint (noun), benefits (noun), freedom (noun), money (noun), happiness (noun), multifunctional (adjective), ruthlessly (adverb)
ResponderBorrarA lot of people around the world have many stuff that they don't need, those stuff takes up too much space because of that people have storage with useless stuff. It’s unfair that some people have many stuff while other people around the world have anything, however you can give the stuff that you don’t need and you can stop to buy useless stuff, if you do it you will save money and reduce your footprint, this implies a lot of benefits like less debts and more happiness.

ResponderBorrarPretty (adjective), Apartment (noun), Space (noun), Room (noun), Town (noun), Credit card (noun), Environmental (noun), Better (adjective), Joys (noun), Dinner (noun), Stuff (noun)
ResponderBorrarThe accumulation of "stuff" has led environmental pollution. Our credit card will not be able to buy the cleaning of the planet. Why we have a TV in every room if our eyes are only able to see one? We have done damage pretty big to the planet. At least we take care of our space. Let our descendants also enjoy the joy of a clean environment.
Plenty (adverb), footprints (noun), flat (noun), boat (noun),
ResponderBorrarruthlessly (adverb), pretty (adverb), lot (adverb), stem (noun),
scheme (noun), render (verb).
I feel sad after to see this video, and it's true , we're creating
a lot of sinks of garbage in our planet. We have a plenty of unnecesary
things in home... we left footprints in this world. Now all we have to
render is begin to think green... buy less, recycle a lot of materials
usual at home and office. The Earth is a pretty pretty place,
we can't take a boat to leave the planet.
ResponderBorrarNoun: Travel / Space/ Stuff/ Footprint/ Dorm/ College
Adverb: Perhaps/
Adjetive: Less/ Grand/ Designed
Verb: Suggest
When I was at college, I never thought my stuff's space. Now, in the present, the spaces of the all stuff in my dorm are very important but when I travel, they are very annoying.
The good design perhaps helps us. We can use in our live less things and use designed things because they’ll make a footprint in the future of the all dorms in our live.
You need suggest the designed stuff.
ResponderBorrarStuff: noun Buy: verb Joy: noun Footprints: noun Happiness: noun
Freedom: noun Possessions: noun Strokes: noun Time: noun Bet: noun
Nowadays people live thinking that happiness depends on how many stuff they can buy as a sign of primacy that don’t really exists, misunderstanding that freedom is not to do whatever you want to do, betting any god that they’re such as better without help or friends because of fear to new things. But the worst part is not to see that joy depends of ourselves because we are convinced that enough is never enough

I think that we live in a ruthlessly society, that teach us that we are plenty when we have a lot of stuff in our apartment; but it's not true. And is sad to hear that a person have a debt for buy unnecessary things. If we want to be different to others and leaves a footprint in the earth, I suggest that we must buy only the things that we really need. Come on! we will have more freedom in all the ways.
Nouns: stress, life, stuff, time, skill, space.
ResponderBorrarVerbs: edit.
Ajetives: multifunctional, different, small.
I’m according with the designer Graham Hill, in the less stuff and less space can help to lead to more happiness. I think the most using space for you or the space where you stay more time, should be comfortable for you, but for that isn’t necessary a big space and many stuff.
I think you can have a big or small space, but if it's untidy and you don't have time to tidy it, that can be a cause of stress for you. For that, if you want a relaxing life, a multifunctional space can be better for you. Those kind of spaces have the skill to change easily for different uses, in those you can have many stuff but those are visible only when you need them, therefore you don't have to worry for clean a big apartment or house with many rooms and you don´t have the feeling that all stuff are above you.

ResponderBorrarVerbs: Suggest, Grows
Adverbs: Perhaps, Really
Adjectives: Hidden
Today, people have more things than we really need, perhaps, we have become accustomed to that lifestyle to accumulate stuff and do not perceive it, we can’t see rampant consumerism that this does not lead to anything good, we see that what really matters is betting on a development in harmony with our environment, without causing nature damage suffered terrible today. How to do it? I suggest, among other things ourselves, with simple daily actions reduce our footprint consumption (water, carbon, energy, food, space ...) and thus, grow as society towards a more prosperous and balanced future.

The people actually occupy approximately more than thirty percent of the space occupied fifty years ago. With this we would think that we have plenty of room in our apartments and homes, but it is not. With this the only thing that we is to spend money and make bigger our environmental footprint and that even makes us happy rather we generate stress. We have to stop worrying about the unimportant things and think about what is really important.

In this time, the people buy a many stuff, that many times are completely unnecessary, but the society press us we must have the things that are trendy. This idea not allows freedom, because our lives revolves around the things we have. All this situation it leads the people acquiring debts there comes a point where that can not with them. To that give less importance to the things not identify as person, should leave more our room and appreciate the natural beauty of our planet, laugh pretty.
