Legacy

I’ll keep this brief, as I’d love for you to consider taking the next 21 minutes to actually watch this video.

In The Story Of Stuff, Annie Leonard does a completely masterful job of illustrating how we get all our “stuff,” where it comes from and where it goes. To be frank, this might be the most important short film you see all year. Hopefully it will inspire you to pass it along and start the dialogue in your own specific circle.

Feel free to watch it here, below, or there’s a wonderful interactive presentation on the Story Of Stuff website.

  2. that was a pretty cool little video. (albeit i though she went a little overboard on non-related propaganda at times, but still…) thanks!

    Hi Brian! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave that link. I think it’s very important for people to critically think about all the angles of these issues, so I really appreciate you giving us a way to see “the other side,” as it were.

    That said, like anything, I’m pretty sure we can always find “issues” with just about anything — at least, anything WE didn’t make ourselves. What’s important is that we can take what’s valuable from something like “The Story of Stuff” and use it to generate a healthy dialogue about our collective future.

    Ben, glad you liked (most of) it! ;-)
