"Annie Leonard's incredibly engaging 20-minute short film, "The Story of Stuff, " is an alarming (but never alarmist or shrill) look into the way that our consumer society works" reports Cory Doctorow of boing-boing.  He goes on to say that" Leonard's cradle-to-grave picture of stuff is lucid and answers a lot of questions about how we got here -- and how we can go somewhere better next."
