When I first typed in storyofstuff.com into my Firefox browser it all seemed a little elementary at first. Heck, with the pencil animations it really is. However, this site about the world’s linear consumption system works. Why? Because it spells it out in a way that even a child could understand, or, should I say, an uninformed adult.
The 20 minute film on the homepage of the site takes the viewer through a series of events: extraction, production, distribution, consumption and disposal. It tells how each works in today’s world and what is wrong with them. It also talks about the lovely relationship we see between the American Government and Big Corporations.
As I said before, it is elementary in a way, but the simplicity really mirrors the simplicity of the situation: this isn’t rocket science and we obviously can’t keep running on a linear system like we are now.
So, what will you do? Or what are you doing?
I hope that in your present career or in your future one you will find a way to contribute to the shutdown of this system and the movement toward a sustainable system.
Here is the YouTube version of the video, but I recommend that you take a look at the original site here.
