What is the Story of Stuff ?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. You can view it in other languages, or simply in a larger version, directly on the website. Now I just wish everyone could watch this short film.
Twenty minutes is not that long. :)
xoxoxo
Ciao Sonia. I like that video. When I posted about it last October I got a few e-mails of ppl telling me that's all cra.... ops! Well, you got the idea! ;)
ReplyDeleteI had a quick look on Flickr, so glad you are enjoying your new home :)

Big hugs & have a very happy week. XOXOX
i posted about it long ago and got all my children and family to view it
ReplyDeleteGreat STUFF!!!
thank you for posting this... it is so true that we all consume far too much and the toxic processes, waste and depletion of resources really do scare me...i felt so sad watching this.. as indviduals the first thing we can do is get off the tredmill and consume less, be more resourceful, local and sustainable.
ReplyDeletethat is just crazy to think about ... and more motivation to really pause and think about what we add into our lives, eh?
ReplyDeleteLove it!
Happy Tuesday :-)
thanks sonia! i'm gonna watch the video now! happy week!
ReplyDeleteSonia~
ReplyDeleteThis is a mind blowing video...in the back
of my head I knew all of this info already,
but hearing this and seeing it just boggles
the mind! And all of it oh so very very true!
And the goverment shining the shoe of
Co. America! Gah! It is true true true!
It makes you want to go out in a forest
some shere never to return.... the sad part is they would come in looking for you, cut
down your forest and then poision and tax you
to death! hahhaha! So really what are we little ones supose to do? If we the hardest
workers buy less that does not mean that we
can aford the better made stuff that will last longer... we are still forced in the end
to buy the more costly stuff!!!! Garrrrrrr!
Thank you for showing me, us... this video!!!
We have learned so much and the kids watched
it like 6 ot 8 times!!! I guess that is one
way to change is to teach your little ones
early on... thank you sweetie~
Loads of love,
Rane
P.S...tell your mom thank you for breakfast...
it was tasty~ the kids loved it!!!!
ah well, 20 minutes is quite long today, I don't have time to watch it.
