Annie Leonard "The Story of Stuff"



A bleak, but interesting, and well made document explaning the Materials Economy, or the linear lifecycle of a product from extraction of raw material through production, distribution, consumption and disposal...how it affects us and the world we live in.  It may be a bit short on answers or solutions to our consumption problems, but it certainly opens up the discussion.

The documentary was created by Annie Leonard, and her website also has a nice piece explaining "The Story of Cap & Trade."



Preorder the book from Amazon.
The Story of Stuff: How Our Obsession with Stuff Is Trashing the Planet, Our Communities, and Our Health-and a Vision for Change

Back to some music tomorrow!
