The Story of Stuff: the life cycle of material goods.
Living in a society where materialism and consumerism are ways of life, oftentimes we don't realize that we waste and misuse resources on a daily basis. This animated video clip depicts the journey of 'stuff'- dividing it into Extraction, Production, Distribution, Consumption, Disposal, and Another Way- with the purpose of building "a strong, diverse, decentralized, cross-sector movement to transform systems of production and consumption to serve ecological sustainability and social wellbeing."

Hi Nuria,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great site. I encourage you to look at the 'the media that matters' film fest website for similar social action media. There is a link to the MTM film fest on the course blog.
These posts are great, but remember to do the 4 assignments outlined in the syllabus for the course. You should be posting your thesis statement soon. =)
