Sometimes I feel like it's really hard to affect change when it comes to what we consume and how we dispose of it. This country runs on capitalism and even if you are against it, which fundamentally I am because of how obviously detrimental and nonsensical it has proved itself to be over and over. Yet, there has been a shift happening; with information comes action and the more informed people are, the more they start to examine and shift their habits and ideas.
You may be wondering, "Where is she going with all this?" lol. Well, that rant brings me to this really cool site called http://www.storyofstuff.com/
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute film that takes viewers on a provocative and eye-opening tour of the real costs of our consumer driven culture—from resource extraction to iPod incineration.
It's not heavy handed or preachy, left-leaning, yes, but factual and dope :) And it shows you and gives you ways to combat the problem and to just be aware of the cost of our consumption on each other and the earth. Peep!
