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. http://storyofstuff.org

@ihavecojones she didn’t say we should live like cavemen,there are so many possibilities, one of the major problems with our tech. is that is is made of the chems of death, life did not evolve with those chems, they do not fit anywhere in living systems, but there are new chemical,energy and construction techs in R+R based upon the chemicals and processes of life, we will have to deal with less stuff, but who NEEDS most of this stuff, I’m totally happy with my cloth mop, never wanted a swiffer

@nurbSoldier Continuous planting (of crops too, not just forests) has been found to degrade the soil in which these plants grow. If the soil becomes stressed through overdemand, it also loses the nutrients that help plants grow – arable land is an increasingly scarce resource.

do you know what’s the solution to the world’s echology problem is?… that we are to many, who’s to blame? , big families ( families that have over 3 children) u see if all the families had 2 children tops the world’s people numbers would be the same because the children would replace theyr parents … and as the numbers grow the consumption grows . SO STOP HAVING BIG FAMILIES …. USE CONDOMS THEY’R LIKE 10 FOR THE DOLLAR .

so basically what she is saying in the first 2-3 minutes concludes to this thing… we should live in caves feeding whit fallen fruits and animals that are dumb enaugh to offer themselves to ourselves, and as tools we should use only loose rocks and fallen wood in order not to endanger the planet, yes i believe that ecology is right but not in the way that we should return to the lifestyle before the industrial revolution.

This “thing” is the truth. If you actually took the time to back up your statement with real evidence showing it’s unreliable, you would have found that all the percents and ratios she uses are based on real data.
By the way, “you” is spelled Y-O-U. If you don’t believe me, look it up in a dictionary.
