I was given the heads up on this very interesting short film a little while ago and finally got round to watching it the other day, it’s certainly worth the 20 or so minutes it takes to run.
It covers our consumer culture, the origins and processes and a possible solution to our predicament. I saw a strong case for ethical shopping in there and this film has started me thinking about the way I shop and the consequences of that.
Take a look at The Story of Stuff, oh if you’re using Firefox and NoScript, you’ll need to enable scripts for the site.
