The Story of Stuff

You may have heard of or watched the youtube video titled The Story of Stuff. If not, its worth checking out. There's a book written by the video's creator, Annie Leonard. The video examines the lifecycle, of, well, stuff by looking how things are created, bought, and thrown away.
