Have you see this
yet?
I found it to be well
worth the 20 minutes run time, entertaining, clear and
concise.

Berkeley filmmaker gets serious about consumer waste with "Stuff"
email
this article An environmental activist turned
filmmaker, Annie Leonard of Berkeley opens her first film by removing the
earbuds of her iPod and telling viewers, "I got a little obsessed with all my
stuff." Leonard's film, "The Story of Stuff," encompasses years of research and
advocacy she compacted into a concise, 20-minute movie that premieres today
online. In her film, Leonard intends to simplify what she calls the "materials
economy" - extraction, production, distribution, consumption and disposal - and
convince Americans that although the system seems easy enough to understand, it
is full of flaws and globally damaging effects. (12/04/07) Contra Costa
