Get the whole story…
Annie Leonard managed to fit a whole lot of information in 20 minutes but there’s still so much more! You can read the whole story by picking up a copy of her new book at your local bookstore or by ordering The Story of Stuff: How Our Obsession with Stuff Is Trashing the Planet, Our Communities, and Our Health-and a Vision for Change at Amazon. We also encourage you to donate a copy of the book to your local library so that those who can’t purchase the book themselves can still access all the great information in it!

Must See Video: Story of Stuff

I stumbled across this video while talking to Lindsey at CarbonFund.org. I must warn you, it will change they way you look at the world! The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns, with a special focus on the United States. All the stuff in our lives, beginning 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. The Story of Stuff 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. 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.
