The Story of Stuff
Coincidentally, I've been thinking about stuff for a while now as I'm in the market for the cheapest, largest skip bin my budget can allow so I can rid myself of a truly headache inducing pile of generic, mindless 'stuff'. I have a belief that too many possessions clutter our minds just as much as our houses, so my project of de-stuffing will have 2 benefits for me. I honestly think the possessions we own are carried around with us like an unseen weight around our shoulders. I'm looking forward to the perceived feeling of lightness I think I'll get. Time will tell if this proves true or not, but I digress.
Stuff, FYM. Are you a stuff bandit? Do you think we're choking on stuff? Did anyone see Annie Leonard on Colbert? The video of interest to me is the middle one at the top on the link above, The Story of Stuff. I find her presentation interesting, though not always entirely accurate. Overall, it's worth thinking of though.
Take this thread however you want - stuff in general, or Annie Leonard's project specifically. Whatever.
