Description

"Stuff doesn’t just get made in factories, sold in stores, used-up and then sent to the landfill. A short video “The Story of Stuff” distills the real process: resources are destroyed, people are abused, toxins pollute, advertisements sell the toxins, stuff breaks (as planned), the stuff pollutes again upon incineration, and the government approves.

Even if you think you already know the story, the 20 minutes is worth the watch. The producer mixes just enough humor with real facts to keep the viewer interested and makes a complex story simple enough to understand without oversimplifying it." (http://openfarmtech.org/weblog/?p=113)
