The Story of Stuff

Please journey to www.thestoryofstuff.com

A delightful and insightful 20-minute presentation on where our products come from and their ultimate impact on our global environment.

It draws awareness for us as consumers to consider the types of packaging used, conditions for workers, pollutions and chemicals effecting the neighboring communities, as well as the subsequent breakdown of the product quality from the miles of transport.

My personal 2009 goal is to investigate the origination of all of the products I consume. I commit to purchasing more items from local sources, in an effort to help the local economy and support those businesses and their families within a 100 mile radius.

Will you join me in considering "your stuff?"
