After today's test we began watching The Story of Stuff. I think it ties in well with the season because it links human health and the environment to many of the products we receive this time of year. This will take a fast internet connection to view.

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together 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.

I started to watch it but then it started making noises, and it's a quiet reading day in my room. I will get to it.
I am trying to cut down on my stuff...but every time I take a bag to the Salvation Army, I seem to bring one home too!! Ah well, at least it's used stuff!!--something I love!

I heard it. It was pretty distracting.
