Story about Stuff

First of all I wish everyone who is reading this blog a Happy New Year!

Over the Christmas break I came across the truly remarkable ‘Story about Stuff’. It’s the story about the consumer product economy. Lots of what is presented in the video is common knowledge, but still, seeing the links starting with natural resource exploitation, over to production, distribution and manipulation of consumer behavior, to disposal management is frightening and makes you think a bid harder about our society’s values and, particularly, about your own retail shopping behavior. If you haven’t seen the video already I highly recommend spending 20 minutes and watching it. Here is the link: http://www.storyofstuff.com/
