A friend just passed this on to me: The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard. It’s a 20 minute illustrated and narrated video about the real impact of stuff on our planet.

While here on the projectsimplify site, I focus primarily on the effects of stuff on your well being–Annie goes global.

I’ve watched the first part but was having buffering issues so haven’t finished it yet. I could tell within the first minute and a half, however, that she was preaching to the choir. She doesn’t mince concepts or shy away from tough subjects. She just lays them out on the table. Go Annie!
