Hello, Mother Jones today ran a blog about a little film called "The Story of Stuff." It comes at the same time the current thread at Sustainable Tompkins is nuclear power plants. It is really quite mad to think we need to build more power plants to to run the crap we buy. Obviously the entire system needs to change. "The Story of Stuff" is a very powerful tool for learning about the madness.
The film's story is probably nothing new to most who read and post here, but Annie Leonard has a way of presenting the story along with the graphics in a very compelling manner. Everyone can understand what she is saying. I think this is important for people to see, so if you know anyone who might not see it, send them a link. From this downloads link you can download the entire short movie. It is 50MB. Need a fast connection. http://www.storyofstuff.com/downloads.html It also possible to see the film in segments on You Tube. You can start that by watching the trailer on Mother Jones. After the teaser the rest of the segments will appear at the bottom of the screen. http://www.motherjones.com/blue_marble_blog/archives/ 2007/12/6497_the_story_of_st.html _______________________________________________ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
