Comments on Cris' review of The Story of Stuff
The Story of Stuff
Description: 20 min,fact-filled movie about stuff in our lives.
Stuff...You Need to Know
I gave "The Story of Stuff" as a Stocking Stuffer, and shared it with friends over the holidays. It's a terrific DVD! Annie Leonard does a brilliant job of distilling 10 years of research about STUFF into a fast-paced 20 minute presentation. Her whimsical approach doesn't diminish the seriousness of the subject in the least. With the support of pen & ink sketch-like animations, Annie demonstrates how our materials economy is completely dysfunctional, how our linear production-consumption system is using up our limited resources. Smart, witty and factual, Annie explains in language school kids can understand that our finite planet is in crisis...it's being trashed by what we the people, our government and powerful corporations are doing to create, use and dispose of stuff...lots and lots of stuff, every day. I highly recommend everyone watch this DVD and share it with as many people as you can. Price $10, includes shipping and handling.
