The Story of Stuff

This link is a 20 minute video clip on the "Story of Stuff" This is the story of how we became consumers instead of citizens and how it affects the whole world. I highly encourage you to take time to view it. Most of it you have heard much of this before and the way this is done brought some new awareness for me and it's a great way to engage kids in this topic.

Here are the ten tips for little and big things you can do. How many times do we need to hear something before we begin to change...many times!!

People created the culture of stuff and people, just like you and me, can shift our culture to a sustainable one. One choice at a time!
