A high school teacher I know showed “The Story of Stuff” to a group of students the other day. It’s nothing they probably didn’t already know (except maybe some scary statistics that are worse than most people realize), but the way it is presented really makes you want to stop shopping for anything that is not a necessity. My favorite part was about how women were once valued for how thrifty they were…

As much as I think I am being mindful of waste, this video really put things into perspective for me. What I liked most about it, though, is that the information is presented with a positive, hopeful attitude.

It may seem like a no-brainer, but in truth, most people don't really think about the life cycle of what they consume and this is a great way to explain what everyone should know and consider when buying more stuff.
