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
5.0
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!
