Watch this short film!

A trailer:


"The Story of Stuff
is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns, with a special focus on the United States. All the stuff in our lives, beginning from the extraction of the resources to make it, through its production, sale, use and disposal, affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues and calls for all of us 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." -storyofstuff.com

so how popular is that site? there are going to be alot of cynics on both sides.

i did learn something though, but the movie is slightly...well...extremely simplified. at leats in one area...

the computer thing... you can buy old parts for an old computer. they cost more sometimes, but it IS possible.

but yeah, the movie was nice... just now to broadcast it nationally.
