The Story Of Stuff - Something for everyone to debate

[Pat McCotter]

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 20-minute, 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.

You can watch the video on the site's home page or at YouTube.

You lost me at "it's the government's job to take care of us and protect us".

That's when I stopped watching, too.

Go to the YouTube page and read all the comments of "I had to watch this in class".

Still need that :facepalm: emoticon.

I think I quit it at "we're using more than our fair share".

What's unfortunate is that, undeneith all the liberalism and misinformation...there is actually a good message (mostly near the end) about consumerism and our increasingly disposable lifestyle.
