The Story of Stuff

The Story of Stuff

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.

    Based on what you said, I don’t think I wanna miss this.

    Hi Jo-N,

    I hope you have enjoyed the video and gotten as much out of it as I did!

    Hi AM–some wonderful stuff (wink).

    Thank you for the introduction. How is everything going?

    Hi New Parent,

    I can’t believe it has taken me more than two months to reply! All I can say is I find our family shuttling between the extreme ends of the scales at times and still learning to cope and finding the equilibrium in coping with life in Singapore! Thanks for remembering us and dropping by! Glad you like The Story of Stuff! =) Will need to catch up on your blog! =)
