Say No To Stuff!!
Or at least start saying no to the current paradigm of the way we produce, consume, use and get rid of our stuff. Watch this great video by Annie Leonard and then start thinking and then doing something about all the stuff you buy, use and get rid of.
Here’s a shocker. According to Miss Leonard, only 1% of the crap we buy is still being used six months later. One Percent!! That’s freakin’ ridiculous!
Check it out. Pass it on. And then do something! Watch the teaser here and then check out storyofstuff.com to watch the whole thing and learn more about how you can start making a difference today. There are some great resources on the site as well as Annie’s very in-depth blog where she continues the story of stuff in great detail and relays others’ stories of stuff and how they’ve been moved by this video.
Hey! Thanks for the great info, it is truly amazing how much we waste on a daily, if not annual basis. I was browsing through a bunch of green websites and blogs and I came across yours and found it very interesting. There are a bunch of others I like too, like the daily green, ecorazzi and earthlab.com. I especially like EarthLab.com’s carbon calculator (http://www.earthlab.com/signupprofile/). I find it really easy to use (it doesn’t make me feel guilty after I take it). Are there any others you would recommend? Can you drop me a link to your favorites (let me know if they are the same as mine).
