Absolutely a must-read for anyone living in contemporary western society with any inclination toward doing anything about the environmental and social mess we find ourselves in.

This book was eye opening. I always try to do my best to leave as little impact on the planet, but after reading this, I know there's so much more that I - and we as a society - should be doing. It's also a bit depressing because a lot of the problems going on now are industry-caused and reading this made me feel a bit helpless.

Good important message, but a tad outdated and dense for me.

This is a very interesting book, written in an easy style. It's life changing, if you can believe it. It makes you reconsider things before you make a purchase.

Excellent for someone aged 13-16 who has never thought of consumerism or their environmental impact, but too childish for anyone older. Also some awful scientific errors: at one point the author complains about PVC on the basis that it contains chlorine; so does table salt- there is a huge difference between an element and a compound.

This book is an absolute MUST READ!!!! I had never really thought about my "stuff", from where it was mined/made/built/etc, to where it went when I was finished with it.
This book teaches the "story of stuff" and makes the reader evaluate the way we have been living our lives in the US (taking advantage of poorer nations for their materials, work, health, etc) and our tendency of over consuming.
After reading this book, I want to be more involved in my community, work towards a healthier planet, and live a more fulfilling life. I have never typically been interested in this, but after seeing the online film at www.storyofstuff.org I looked in to this book and checked it out from the library.
I suggest YOU do the same!!!! If everyone were educated in this issue, and worked toward the greater good, we really could make a difference!
