Story of Stuff, Full Version; How Things Work, About Stuff

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

    Progressives are Commies disguise in Old Glory.

    OF the people (which the number one most hated profession of most people are lawyers, but who do we have running the government? Lawyers.), BY the people (meaning WE, NOT gov’t, should handle things. They’re just a means of concentrating our voices into an easier method of doing something), FOR the people (NOT meaning to rely on them).

    Government is NOT here to take care of us. WE are here to take care of ourselves.

    Go learn some history.

    Is that why the electric bill for Al Gore’s mansion is $24,000 a month? Because he’s burning the midnight oil trying to save us from oil? What a dildo.

    @SeppelP

    She didn’t just make a video, you cretin – though it has had almost 800,000 views. She also researches and volunteers and spreads the word to people who are willing to put aside their self-interest and build a better world for themselves and others. However, some skulls are obviously just too thick to get through.

    @papasitoman ummm no you moron. you are making an of yourself. in case you are not aware, darwins theory is darwins theory? just because dawkins is a darwinist does not mean he made up the theory? DAWKINS theory is the concept of selfish genes. care to embarass yourself?

  9. papasitoman Says:

    Who is arguing …
    Who is arguing against Dawkin`s theory? What the are you talking about? What part of my comment makes you think I am doubting his theory?? And which theory are you referring to? The meme theory? The selfish gene theory? DARWIN`s theory? What? As I said, stop making an of yourself.

    Firefighters put out fires.
    What did she do? make a stupid video. that’ll help

  11. Killerah Says:

    @cococreamwafers …
    @cococreamwafers True, but that’s beside the point. She made it sound like the technology in computers mostly never changes but just the developers swap out the CPU every year to make you upgrade. To someone who has been fixing/upgrading/buildling computers since the age of 13 that detracts a lot of credibility from what you have to say.

    I agree with you though, I think there could be a lot done in the way of recycling old computers and such so that we’re not so wasteful.

  12. virginialikesyou Says:

    so many crazy …
    so many crazy people leaving comments. Wow. I hope none of them vote!

    you’re dumb. You breathe air and release co2. You should stop breathing. LOL!!!

    @SeppelP”
    if she´s so concerned about environment, then why did she travel the world.
    it used a lot of fuel you hippocrite ”

    Okay, so if your house was on fire, fire fighters putting out the fire with water are hypocrites, since it’ll just dry out other parts of the earth and cause more fires. So if fire fighters are so concerned with about fires, they shud just let u burn.

    ok, Think I’m done here.

  15. cococreamwafers Says:

    @Killerah Regarding …
    @Killerah Regarding the flawed sounding computer issue: At first I thought the same. A lot more needs to be changed inside a computer upgrade than just a chip or two. But if you think about it deeper, you should realize, that its the materials, toxic PCBs, plastics, power supplies, precious metals that are truely wasted in the disposal process. Such material as far as I know doesn’t get recycled into its pure atomic elements to make new chips.

    CommieOfTheEpic “They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. George? Carlin”

    Only thanks to the corrupt, lazy &/or stupid a-holes who’ve “progressively” turned the USA into a 3rd world socialist playpen. The more socialist, the more unachievable the dream. I include the “U.S.” Chamber of Commerce & “compassionate conservatives” in that: The bigger the tsunami of 3rd-world immigrants, the worse the squeeze on American citizens, our environment & quality of life.

    Yes, Comrade papasav, we’ll have to send him to one of the concentration camps Obama’s having the Dept of “Homeland Security” build.

    khillertubes: Yes Comrade, you are qualified to tell people what they need and don’t need, and how much they are allowed to spend.

    I think “green” is just another way of saying “red”

    I think she made her point very well.

    Folks spend too much money on stuff they don’t need, which equals poor people in cluttered homes and a polluted environment. Then the pollution gives folks birth-defects and cancer.

    As far as the economy there are many alternative things folks could spend money on that have little environmental impact and would actually improve their health and happiness.

    I hope this person is just reading a teleprompter and really doesn’t believe any of this Marxist Propaganda. Since I was a Computer Chip Designer for 23 years, I’ll speak on her complete ridiculous comments on why computers have to be replaced. If we used her thinking we’d still be using Fast Page RAM (80′s technology) and would be limited to under 10MHz clock speeds. Sorry to tell you, you can’t simply replace all the chips on a motherboard to upgrade the speeds. This video is communism!!!

    The problem with …
    The problem with this video is that there are so many things wrong with it. And YES it is wrong to brainwash children with guilt-tripping lies. Consumer-built societies DO work, and that’s why free-market societies flourish while socialist societies plummet.

  24. yourmotheriscrazy Says:

    Holy shit, you have …
    Holy shit, you have gotta be kidding me. There are so many things wrong with this video I don’t even know where to start.

    @degrohlrules umm are u kidding? is it better than the youth of your country getting brainwashed by capitalism,advertising,religion thats just ignorant im sorry. call it what you want, but her intent is to spread a global understanding(she talks slow for the southern americans out there) that our consumer built society is not working. if you cant atleast see the concept, you have no hope. well mark you down as a write off
