The Story of Stuff
Annie Leonard’s been thinking …
Annie’s video is a must see for everyone who’d like to keep our planet viable.
It’s a must see if you don’t give a stuff about the planet but you need an excuse to get off the madcap consumer roller coaster.
How did big business create a system that puts consumer products on the shelf for a fraction of their actual cost? We’ve all wondered about it. Annie went to find out and it changed her life. She will tell you how this obscene system started, how it functions and why—one way or another—it can’t last.
She’ll tell you the real cost of our addiction to stuff and why your grandchildren will pay for it tomorrow just as the world’s poor are paying for it right now.
