This winter, I'm taking an online course through the Green Education Foundation Institute. Through part of the studies, I found my way back to the 21 minute video by Annie Leonard--her original "Story of Stuff." I have got to admit it: I'm a big fan of Annie Leonard. I have seen her speak, and I have read her book. Not quite a junkie, but close. Well, okay... maybe, I am.
She just truly has her finger on the pulse of materials economy: extraction, production, distribution, consumption (including the dastardly planned and perceived obsolescence) and disposal. If you haven't seen it, you need to take the time, and do it today! It's that important, and she is soo right!!
