Ever wonder what it took to produce and ship all that stuff at the store? Or why your cell phone is obsolete after about a year? And why do we feel the need to buy things that we already have?
The writer and lead actor in the video, Annie Leonard, is an expert in international sustainability and environmental health issues, with more than 20 years of experience investigating factories and dumps around the world. In the Story of Stuff Annie surveys the “materials economy” and its impact on our environment and health. She looks at the extraction of natural resources, the production and distribution of finished goods, the consumption of the products and finally their disposal.
The video will educate you, make you laugh, and possibly get you a little choked up. If anything, it’ll make you think twice before buying another cheap knick knack. Please watch it and share your reactions. Then forward it on to your friends to see what they have to say.
