Stuff : The Materials Economy

Will more things make you happier?

We want a lot of things and we have a lot of things. I even found out sometimes it is even encouraged by the  government that we should want to buy a lot of things. However at the rate we are consuming and without the proper programs for recycling I learned that we will end up drowning in all our stuff.

I saw a video about this from "The Story of Stuff Project" This is a 20-minute animation of the consumerist society, narrated by Anne Leonard, and she really makes sense. It seems that she has done her research and has practical info to share. Link here.

This video talks about the Materials Economy.
