- Ever wonder what happens to all the stuff you buy?
Maybe you already know the story of the stuff that you buy: where you bought it, where it was produced, how it was produced, how the raw materials were obtained, etc.
You may also know part of the story of what happens to the stuff that you bought: what you do with it, what it does to you, when you trash it, where you trash it and how you trash it.
But did you ever see the greater picture? How it all fits into how our society works, and would you be so pleased with your stuff if you knew?
Annie Leonard has done an amazing job of raising awareness of the issues surrounding our consumer culture by publicising this 20min video featuring herself as the narrator of the “Story of Stuff”. Go watch, learn and share.
