I find that catchy jingles or using celebrities to promote a product have worked effectively in selling many items. I tend to not buy products due financial restrictions, belief of immoral conduct, or health issues. On the other side, I tend to consume products that are within my price range, healthy, and/or popular. I am swayed by celebrity endorsements when it comes to athletic attire; I am not swayed as much when it comes to food and other products. The advertisement above is for Toaster Strudel, which is like a fruit pastry with icing on top. The ad suggests that when kids have this "fruity" delight for breakfast they will be energized and want to play outside. It also suggests that kids who are active and play outside a lot eat Toaster Strudel. The ad uses bright colors and notably the color red to signify happiness and hunger. I find this ad to be misleading considering when I eat Toaster Strudel I feel very unsatisfied with my decision. Also, I am very active despite my lack of this product in my diet. Toaster Strudel might give one a short sugar rush, but a crash shouldn't be far behind.

Eco Footprint

My number of Earths that it would take to sustain my lifestyle is 4.1 Earths and 18 global acres of Earths fertile land. A footprint is the marks you leave on the enviornment that resemble the resources that you have used throughout your everyday life. In order to sustaine life on Earth we must limit and make the most of the resources we use. We use footprints to measure and interpret our impact on the environment, and if we are dissappointed in the results of our footprints, we may choose to change our lifestlyle. If I had to change one thing to make my eco footprint smaller it would have to be to take shorter showers.
