The Story of Stuff

This is incredibly intense. Anne Leonard has created a twenty minute video unmasking the reality of our consumer culture. This is truly an eye opening expose regarding the real costs of the stuff in our lives. It makes me think of a bumper sticker I saw the other day that read: The more I know, the less I need.

This is a good one to spread around, as it is accessible and compelling even to hardened skeptics.

One of the main characteristics of the emerging ecological period is the move from a human-centered norm of reality and value to a nature-centered norm. We cannot expect life, the earth, or the universe to fit into our rational human designs of how life, the earth, or the universe should function. We must fit our thinking and our actions within the larger process. We must move from democracy to biocracy. ~ Thomas Berry
