Media Room
Welcome! This media room is designed to provide access to the latest information about the Story of Stuff and Annie Leonard. It also provides additional resources on the movie's content.
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns, with a special focus on the United States. All the stuff in our lives, beginning from the extraction of the resources to make it, through its production, sale, use and disposal, affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues and calls for all of us 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.
thanks for posting - I've sent the link to about 50 people today - everybody should watch this.... _________________ Nyetu pravdy v Isvyestyakh i nyetu isvyestyi v Pravde

Yes thanks disco. Never could get excited about economics at school but this video explains a lot of things. Well worth 20mins education time.

“Our enormously productive economy..demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of good into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction in consumption…. We need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever accelerating rate.”
