The Story of Stuff - watch before you head shopping




The Story of Stuff is a very fresh and insightful short film talking about the path of consumer goods: Extraction - Production - Distribution - Consumption - Disposal.

There are some quite amazing things you probably didn't know until now about the 'stuff' you and me are buying every day, every minute, even now online probably.
I loved the simplicity with which the topic is presented. You don't need sophisticated language to raise attention about such an everyday habit/hobby/entertainment/lifestyle as consumption.

Check out the movie here and think twice before you shop - are you also a part of this consumer society that you were planned for?

This is such a powerful, powerful video. When I was teaching school I made each of my students watch it. As an American, I feel like my country has a lot to learn where this is concerned.
