What is the Story of Stuff?

What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Richard, thanks for posting this story. I took the 20 mins. to watch and it really brings home how our system works and how we play into the whole thing. It makes you start looking around at different options so you don’t contribute even more. Very much worth checking out. Thanks
