The Story of Stuff

Check out this cool video - "The Story of Stuff" - which was featured in a recent Ideal Bite daily tip (check the sidebar on the left column of this blog - it updates every day!). This video is narrated by Annie Leonard, a scholar in the areas of international trade, development, sustainability and environmental health. Her video addresses some very interesting issues about consumerism and the so-called "American way," at times a cynical commentary on our government, corporate America and how our lives are being controlled by them. The premise is a simple yet intriguing question: where does all the "stuff" go? Aside from the 20-minute video itself, the website has tons of reading material, so browse around as well.
