This is the time of the year when we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. This is the time of the year when we start sorting and clearing our old stuff, and start buying new stuff. We start our mass consumption in this annual ritual. Ever wonder about the stuff that we buy, use and dispose?
A new short film, The Story of Stuff, by Annie Leonard gives an overview of the cycle of stuff. The 20-minute film explores our materials economy and looks at the social and environmental costs of extraction, production, distribution, consumption and disposal. Watch the film at the website or download it. The film trailer is shown below:
