What is The Story Of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

Important conversation

This conversation is so important. To me it speaks to how many of our 'natural' assumptions are wrong about nature...specifically in regard to 'linear thinking' when we are all part of a 'life cycle'.

Here's a link to a web site that talks about the problem in a simple, down to 'earth' way: http://www.globalcommunity.org/flash/wombat.shtml
