“Forty years after the first Earth Day, the world is in greater peril than ever. While climate change is the greatest challenge of our time, it also presents the greatest opportunity – an unprecedented opportunity to build a healthy, prosperous, clean energy economy now and for the future.” EARTH DAY NETWORK
A few months ago, I was invited to watch a DVD of a short made-for-the-internet film called, “The Story of Stuff”, created by Anne Leonard. She tracks the life of the “stuff” we use every day: how it is produced, distributed, and consumed, and where it goes when we throw it out.
Much of what we see in the video is already common knowledge; but upon seeing it, we just might want to make more concrete changes in our efforts to make our environment a “greener” place. This “must-see” video is instructive, energizing, at times humorous and definitely challenging. It can be found at: http://www.storyofstuff.com/ This story is now also in book form.
I’d be very interested in hearing your comments.
