Do you ever wonder where all the things in your house really come from? For example, where did each of the componants in your computer get made? Where did they get shipped from and how much did it cost to assemble them? Moreover, what impact did making your computer have on other people? "The Story of Stuff" is about just that - what impact is our comsumer-driven society having on other people, cultures and countires and ultimately, ourselves. It's surprisingly straightforward, yet how many of us know the true cost of our way of life and how easy it would be to change our attitudes and behavior if we just made the effort?

This has me hooked. I've got to share it, see it again, memorize it and repeat it. I want to show it to my kids, make sure they share/see/memorize it, too. I like the idea of "thinking" each purchase through in this way. I've taught my children the difference between cheap stuff and quality stuff, but I've not shown them the cost of this stuff. Thanks, Annie. I'm spreadin the word!
