The Story of Stuff

http://www.storyofstuff.com/

This is an incredible twenty-minute video that can really get you thinking about the stuff we buy and where it comes from...and what happens to it. Plus, there's so much else that makes you think, it's amazing. The woman who narrates it has done ten years of research and does a fantastic job of explaining the points she's trying to make. There are also these black and white kid-like drawings that, at least for me, made certain facts (like that we've used a third of our planet's resources in just the last three decades) really hit home.

If you've got an extra twenty minutes, I think it's worth seeing. Thank you, Melissa, for sending it along to me!
