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

3.0

Sobering but worthwhile read. Drives home the message that US environmental policy and pollution affects the rest of the world since we are such huge consumers. Some data is a bit old since book came out in 2010, but obviously the environmental damage is only getting worse so worth reading and taking action.

Also thought the message of “Reduce, Re-use, Refuse and then Recycle” was a good guideline to follow. As she outlines the limitations of recycling and the huge resource savings that are possible if the other “R’s” are followed first.
