A review by bookzealots
The Story of Stuff: How Our Obsession with Stuff is Trashing the Planet, Our Communities, and our Health—and a Vision for Change by Annie Leonard

1.0

For the most part, this book's suggestions don't work for the community my family lives in. However, I would venture to say, she probably has a bigger carbon footprint than I do. Trying to get to zero waste is an impossible utopia. Utopia, by the way, is a nonexistent place. Can we all be good stewards and be responsible? Yes. And we should be.
I will never ride a bike to my "local" grocery store. It's not possible.
Is it possible for people to cut back on plastics, yes, have counties, clean tap water and make it drinkable again. Stop using plastic bags and go back to brown bags.
Have companies make items that don't have a die date ie. like all technology, washers/dryers, etc. with the companies making things to last generations again, (like Maytag used to be), we will have less waste.
just my two cents, and I didn't waste a bunch of trees printing a useless book.

Why does goodreads keep changing the edition of the books I've read to foreign languages?!
