The Story of Stuff

And this is why the World is literally 'going down the tubes'... Collectively as human beings, we are MAJOR consumers and have the necessity of "keeping up with the Jones'". The only problem is what happens to our 'stuff' after it's done being consumed and the "next big thing" hits the market and we throw away our old (otherwise, still working) stuff?

Check it out =====> The Story of Stuff <===== This is what happens!!

A very simple, yet informative twenty minute video on 'The Story of Stuff', presented by Annie Leonard. The video takes an in depth look at the five step system-in-crisis of the cycle of our 'stuff'... from Extraction, Production, Distribution, Consumption, and Disposal.

It looks good from first glance, but the problem is that this is a linear system. And you can't have a linear system on a finite planet. This kind of disposal of our stuff affects the econmy, the people, and the environment.

Take 20 minutes and check it out for yourself ====> The Story of Stuff

Take Care of Yourself,
