IDEA: Watch and Share The Story of Stuff
 
4 votes

Watch the video called The Story of Stuff. It's the story of consumer products, from extraction to disposal via production, distribution and consumption. It's told in an upbeat and entertaining way with cool animations. It's designed to inspire you to think about stuff in a different way. Tell your friends and family about it or show it to your class.
Please vote for this idea, the video is really excellent.

If you buy everything second hand instead of new, you are not only reducing waste you are avoiding the resources extraction, energy footrpint and pollution that goes into manufacturing and distributing new products.

It's good for your bank balance too!

If you have to buy something new, make sure it has real long term energy efficiency benefits and is responsibly produced.

It's so easy on trade me - you can get just about anything delivered to your door - no need to go trapsing round the shops. More time to hang out at the beach or in yer garden, yeah!
