The Story of Stuff

The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard

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.

It’s difficult to watch this well-done, if one-sided, video and not question a few personal habits.

And a lot in impersonal ones.

And, as Andrew Tobias puts it, “Chances are that whatever may be exaggerated now will soon be accurate if we don’t act.”
