This is Your Life Cycle
- Words by Peppermint
Sometimes cartoons offer life’s sagest wisdom, and this has certainly never been truer than with the team at The Secret Life of Things. In their latest animation, This is Your Life Cycle, a glitzy animated whale and a neurotic vacuum cleaner lead the charge of quirky characters in a five minute quest to teach us all about the environmental impact of the products in our lives. The brainchild of eco-designer Leyla Acaroglu, whose 2010 video Life Pscycle-ology picked up a host of awards, This is Your Life Cycle is the kind of cute’n’clever brainfood we just can’t get enough of.
