The Story of Stuff

Mitras highly recommend the new thought-provoking film ' The Story of Stuff' by Annie Leonard as a compulsory viewing for all students. To quote from the official website of the film, The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns.From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever. You can download the entire film 50 MB after you have seen the teasers on You Tube.
