What We Don't know CAN Hurt Us - and How We Can Fix It

Have you ever really wondered what happens to all the stuff we use on a daily basis, and where it all goes when it gets thrown out? It's not something that really crossed my mind until recently. And I don't think it's so much that most of us dodn't care as much as we just aren't aware.

A website called "The Story of Stuff" was recently brought to my attention that really opened my eyes. I have a link below where you can view a clever video that tells the full life cycle of products including how they are made, priced, sold, consumed, and then trashed, but even more importantly it shows the far-reaching impacts of production, overconsumption, and waste. It’s a wonderful video, very artistic and professional. Even though it’s fairly long (between 15-20 min.) it goes by quickly, so please do yourself a favor and make time to sit down, relax, and enjoy the viewing. If you don't have time now, be sure to bookmark it for a little later today.

If you are ready for a somewhat shocking, yet very informative and pleasantly interesting little film, please view the video. If you are at all like I was, you will be inspired to change your views on how we consume, and why.
