Story of Stuff - Annie Leonard

Annie Leonard has spent over 20 years researching the life cycle of stuff. You know, our material purchases- from our mp3 players to our clothes- the life cycle of these items has been hidden half hidden from consumers for some time now. I'm sure many people have wondered about how these everyday items get onto the shelves, but it seems that curiosity rarely goes beyond that initial wonder. Annie Leonard has created a few videos that reveals her findings in a easy to understand, entertaining way. I really think these short videos strike at the heart of a few issues. I also think that their message should be passed around as much as possible. As "going green" and caring about the environment becomes more trendy and cool, perhaps people's mindsets will change.
Check these out - they're short and only take a few minutes, but their worth seeing.
