Where does your ’stuff’ come from? How does it get from raw material to product and where does it end up when you throw it away?

We live in a ’stuff’-saturated community where the average American home contains around 10,000 objects and has more t.v.’s than people living in it. Each of us creates approximately 4.5 lbs of garbage each day consisting of everything from wrappers to discarded electronics. That’s a lot of junk! So much so in fact that the highest point on the Eastern seaboard is a landfill.

In ‘The Story of Stuff’ Annie Leonard takes viewers on the journey from source to product end-life and reminds us that there truly is no place ‘away’. Visit ‘The Story of Stuff’ website to view the full movie!
