Annie Leonards movie (see here) may just strike a cord with you and bring a halt to the rampant consumerism that has taken over the world. The cost of this throw away society may just about be enough to destroy the world as we know it (rendering it uninhabitable for future generations), if we as citizens of the world do not stop pillaging our resources and think about a sustainable future for the planet.
From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view.
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
