Quote from The Story of Stuff website:
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns, with a special focus on the United States. All the stuff in our lives, beginning from the extraction of the resources to make it, through its production, sale, use and disposal, affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view.
The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues and calls for all of us to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something. It’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
Written by Leonard, the film was produced by Free Range Studios the makers of other socially-minded, web-based films such as “The Meatrix” and “Grocery Store Wars.” Funding for the project came from The Sustainability Funders and Tides Foundation.

Remember to play the clip before the viewers arrive to test if it plays as expected! Note that subtitles of foreign language clips may not be accompany files! Had to quickly replace Nicht Mehr – Nocht Nicht as DVD copy on harddisk didnt ‘compile’ on time.
However, Story of Stuff clip, was a good stand-in, as it definately proved to be a good conversation starter for material econimics and environmental awareness.
Afterwards we spoke about it’s ‘denseness’ and the use of good narrative for explaining complicated systems, and the contrast of agenda-based facts with easy-to-understand visual illustrations.
