The Story of Stuff Video Should Be Submitted Via the Placenta

This video is a little over 20 minutes long and is editorialized by Annie Leonard. Worth a watch.... I feel like it should be compulsory for all humans to watch, including running it on Channel One in schools throughout the states. At this point, sadly, you might have to make it a web element of logging into myspace or facebook that people have to watch before they are granted access. I am very much trying to work on using less of everything; I am a reformed "stuffoholic."
"What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together 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."
