Okay — if you’ve got high speed internet, you really need to watch “The Story of Stuff,” with Annie Leonard.
http://www.storyofstuff.com/index.html
Annie Leonard is the live action person surrounded by cartoon images, and she explains how stuff is created, consumed, and discarded. Even more important, she discusses the Real Cost of stuff. I’ve just discovered the site, but apparently there is a blog that goes with it, and ideas about things we can do. Check it out!

There is a wonderful profile of Annie Leonard, creator of Story of Stuff, in the Sept/Oct 2008 issue of Women’s Adventure Magazine. She is amazing. Check it out.
