The Story of Stuff

I just would like to recommend this, a short video called The Story of Stuff about what goes into creating and getting us the myriad things that we consume, found via Jack at Feministe. One thing that stood out especially is that 99% of what goes into making something is thrown out within six months of receiving it. Holy shit, our system/way of life here is so broken. I'm not even sure what system I'm decrying, except to say a lot of them, or maybe the greater US system of irresponsible, unbridled capitalism all our smaller systems contribute to.
