The Story of Stuff: Exposing the Effects of Human Consumption

Image

“The Story of Stuff” is a 20-minute short film about the effects of human consumption, a cheerful but somewhat brutal assessment of how much Americans waste. The thick-lined drawings of the Earth, a factory and a house are meant to convey the cycle of human consumption, as are the pictures of dark puffs of factory smoke and outlines of skulls and crossbones that represent polluting chemicals floating in the air. It’s a 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 the creation of a more sustainable and just world.

Includes a number of pictures, as well as the full version of “The Story of Stuff.”
