From 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 production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes connections between environmental and social issues, and calls us to create a more sustainable and just world.


We have bought into a system, in which buying stuff is our ultimate purpose. We have to change this system. ...first through awareness... then ultimately, to sustainability. Buying less of what we don't need is always important, but the ultimate goal is sustainability. And this goal, we must demand. ...renewable energy, sustainability of products and production - [ Production without Destruction. ]
