The Story of Stuff

This morning, David found a neat website.

http://www.storyofstuff.com/

In summary, this is a story about how our current system of production and consumption is not sustainable. I learned quite a bit just now.

It's about 20 minutes long, so there is some time involved to watch. However, I highly recommend watching this film. We watched it over breakfast!

Let me just say I'm very proud to have a 4 year old cell phone, a 10 year old television, a 10 year old car and 25 year old home - even when I get made fun of because of it.

David and I are currently talking about what more we can do in our family to help out our environment. More to come...

Definitely will watch this. However, I just threw out a bunch of "stuff" because our NEW home is short on storage! AH....the guilt!
