This is an oldy but a goody. Annie Leonard of The Story of Stuff makes some incredibly interesting but also well researched video clips to help us begin to understand some serious issues. Check out The Story of Stuff, or my favorite The Story of Bottled Water.

It is great to be back in the “real” world since you realise that the social conscience is slowly changing and people are becoming aware of the issue of plastics. Changing slowly but changing none-the-less…

The downside is you realise that still people are doing silly things. Just yesterday, while waiting in the check out at the grocery store, I saw person after person buying cases of 40 bottles of water for just $8 ! Firstly, why buy water when it comes out of the tap for almost nothing. Secondly, how can our system actually make, bottle, ship and sell (all at a profit) 40 bottles of water for only $8 !!! How is that even possible ? Time to look deeper.
