The Tides Foundation ^ | Unknown | Anne Leonard

What is the Story of Stuff?

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

But isn’t the filter ultimately disposable?

It's about the fuel to ship the weight of all that water PARALLEL to a ubiquitous underground water delivery system called PIPES.

I am telling you it's a killer. And its sustainable, so it will kill for generations if we are not careful.

You already see it has played a role in almost all the incidents of school violence.

Indeed without exception every school where there has been an incident of student on student or student on teacher violence has occurred, Di hydrogen Monoxide was present in the building.

Kinda of like the environment saving Toyota Prius, the car whose heavy batteries were made in Canda, shipped to Japan for installation into the cars that in turn were shipped to North America.

Let us just say I am leery of all this envirofirendly marketing stuff.
