The Story of Stuff


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 is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls for a more sustainable and just world.

This video is not related to Mediterranean conservation... or is it? Aren't many of the problems affecting the oceans also a result of our patterns of consumption and unsustainable daily habits?

In any case, The Story of Stuff is likely to teach you something, and it may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life.
