    I recently watched a video I'd like to share with everyone here on DP. It's called The Story of Stuff. I think every person on the planet should see it.

    This is a great video about how our consumer economy works. It's a linear system. We take natural resources and move them through manufacturing, sales, consumption and finally disposal. It should be obvious that this can't be maintained. Unfortunately, most people don't really think about it.

    This video was put together by one girl. She's done a lot of research. It's intelligently put together with style and a little humor. It's an honest look at the World's economy presented in a way that gets to the point without being too sharp or too dull. This video is proof that one person can make a difference.

    She's got an important message.

    It won't take much of your time.

    Please check it out and send share it with others.

    Very interesting video! I've already knew some of that information...The issue here is to make people realize that we won't have the world to give to our children, as the predictions say today :(
