Hi All
Here’s a link to a great little film: “The Story of Stuff”. http://www.storyofstuff.com/index.html
It’s from Free Range Studios, makers of the acclaimed “The Meatrix”.
“But we also need something else, which will almost surely precede global agreements and serious commitments to undertake the massive economic and social reorganization that the threat of global warming - and other pending ecological catastrophes - commands. That something else is a broad public understanding of how the system all fits together. Not just how important it is to change from incandescent to compact fluorescent light bulbs or the value of recycling - though these things are vital - but how the present system of making, transporting, selling, buying, using and disposing of things is trashing the planet. If we're going to save ourselves from global warming, we're going to have to do things differently.
That's where The Story of Stuff comes in.
"The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard" is an engaging new short film that explains the "materials economy" in 20 fun-filled minutes.
Yes, fun-filled.” (quoted from Robert Weissman’s article on Znet.org)
