This is something everyone should see. Celebrate Earth Week and take the time to watch The Story of Stuff. This 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled video will change the way you view the world and the “stuff” in it. Focusing on the United States, it looks closely at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. All the stuff in our lives, from the extraction of the resources to make it, through its production, sale, use and disposal, affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view and unknown to the public. The Story of Stuff also exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues and calls for all of us to create a more sustainable and just world.
