The Story of Stuff

For a matching set, you can view this video, "The Story of Stuff", in accompaniment to my previous post. This was sent to me via the homeschooling network that we are a part of, intended for the environmental awakening of children (to prevent "can I PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE have another one?") but probably just as much for their parents. It is a really concise way of describing the whole picture at a level that children can understand, but also to get them and their parents motivated. I am finding that many of the most functional environmentalists today don't just resort to scare tactics or dish out insurmountable tasks, but put the viewer/listener in the driver's seat and give them simple and clear ways to change the paradigm in 10 easy steps. Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and climate change project is another good example.

Enjoy!
