The Story of Stuff

February 21, 2008 7:37 pm

I’m currently a little tired out by everything that is happening but one thing I try not to give up on is reducing our family’s carbon imprint.

Annie Leonard’s powerful and simple to understand video of ‘The Story of Stuff’ is a must watch for everyone.

This video resounds in my mind so loudly and I agree with very much of what she has to say, especially when I’m back home to see all that consumerism in our society - the compalling buy buy syndrome.

Is there really no end to buying?

If you think you aren’t going to sit through that 20 minute video, start from the Consumption part (yes, you can select different parts for viewing), it might just speak volume about to you.
