The Story of Stuff

The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute movie that covers the complex topic of consumption simply and entertainingly. We are drowning in stuff – and it isn’t making us any happier – and it ain’t doing anything good for the planet, either.

There are other videos on YouTube that debunk some of the points presented here – watch them as well. It’s important to see multiple viewpoints on such an important topic.

I did – and came down on the side of the  video shown here. It’s not that I believe that every fact and the way it is presented is true, but that her conclusions are correct.
