The Story of Stuff is an eye opening video explaining the true cost of our stuff.
Many of us have already noticed how quickly thing break compared to when we were kids, it's almost as though things are made to break so we'll have to buy new ones. Turns out they are not only made to break, but companies actually discuss how quickly they can get things to break while still leaving enough faith in the company to go out & buy a new one.
The sad part is, the deception doesn't stop there.
The system of supply & demand that was created by humans at the end of WWII to stimulate our economy is now actually hurting our economy, injuring our planet & making us all sick.
I highly recommend this video:
