The Story about stuff

After seeing The story about stuff by Annie Leonard it crossed my mind that there are a lot of things going on around us every day that we do not think about, nor do we realize that many of the things we do or consume are bad for the environment. We all know that humans do a lot of things to pollute the earth. This movie really alerts you about the fact that there are a lot of things that we do in our every day life, without us thinking about it, that are bad for the environment.

As Leonards states in her movie we consume more today than we have ever done and the fact that World War II was, according to Annie Leonards, where it all began is something that I would say people don’t think about. At least it didn’t occur to me that this was the case. It is scary to think about the effect World War II actually had on this planet. Not only the things that we all learn in school but also things that are invisible to us.

Annie Leonards alerts us with things that according to me should be pretty obvious to everybody but that we somehow have forgotten about.
