The first step of this linear system is called extraction. It is when removing the resources from our earth and has it in a later use. Production is the next step, which is transforming the resources to create the new products. And then “distributions” is the next step; this is when we place the products to the sellers in certain locations. Consumption is the step, it is to encourage consumer to buy the product that was transformed from the distribution step that is basically advertisements that leads to this stage of having consumer to purchase the goods. Lastly comes disposal, which is the stage of damage, because we are throwing away the goods that causing many environmental problems.
