The Story of Stuff

The Story of Stuff... by Anne Leonard

A very worthy discussion of how the process of consumption works.  Where does our trash go?  How much do we consume?  How did we end up this way?
Get the answer from someone who has been dedicated to tracking down these answers.

This video includes a pretty thought provoking quote from Victor Lebow:

"Our enormously productive economy... demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption... we need things consumed, burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate."
