The best video I've ever seen about mankind's destruction of nature, "The Story of stuffs." Look Annie, you went deep into the question of the destruction of nature by the greed of the great corporations of the world and by the inhuman capitalist countries, particularly yours. It changed my way of looking at things. Congratulations! Brazil - São Paulo

Loved this video content.
Only issue I faced was. I had a Samsung cooking range. One of the burners failed. I look up Samsung and they do not make the part anymore (because they want you to buy new stuff else they’ll be out of business), but I did find a parts source and the cost of part: 275$, cost of labor 100$ and service call charge 75$ so all put together I might have ended up paying 450$. And in future if the other 3 burners fail it’s going to be approximately 450 x 3, if the grill fails that’s I don’t know how much. So I ended up throwing the cooking range and for a new one for 900$. It’s helplessness but had to buy new. We need a way to recycle harmful chemicals. Salvaging can help to some extent only. And if I didn’t have TV, I probably wouldn’t have known or seen your program on TV. But I do agree that nothing should be wasted and use stuff to the max where possible.

A dozen years later and we're even WORSE than we were when it came out 😞

And STILL, no one speaks about the damage that factory farming does to our planet, not even to mention the lives of the animals involved.

I changed my way of living too because of watching Annie's videos about 10 years ago. I found it funny the college professor said if you keep making films, I'll be out of a job. We need to wake up to that truth too. The internet can teach you almost everything college can teach you for mere pennies. Gone are the days where we need a college degree to be successful. Another documentary called College Conspiracy is good for exposing those truths. I am now a more minimalistic person and waste not in my home.

consuming less and recycling will never be enough if we keep multiplying.

This video is amziing and the project the story of stuff is so good!! the problem is the comunication.... for example Im just learning englush and I tried 2 understand what she says couse she is so wonderful.. Im interesting about that!! but she needs to get more translaters to spanish people even to others languajes!!

When Annie mentions that people aren't happy even when they have more stuff than before, I get the picture, as I am a researcher in the field of environment. However, someone not familiar with environmental issues would expect a 'face' with a 'name' to come in front of their eyes to 'imagine' what does 'having more stuff but being less happy' really looks like. A movie with story revolving around characters indulging in consumerism can make the people understand the issues better. I would like to know if someone is interested in such a project...

How does one get a degree from Cornell by taking the final classes online from a different university and a local college in CA?  Seems to be a cop-out and done by bending the rules.  I walk through the Yale campus on a weekly basis and attend lectures.  Does this entitle me to a degree from Blue?  Or Cal Tech?  Yes, I'm stretching the point.

She mentions public health at 08:55. I often think about how much of the American's tax payers dollars, actually more debt, is spent on your military, yet the average American can go bankrupt during a hospital stay...goodbye house. Is that what anybody elsewhere would call a model society? And why is the average American so against public health care. They got it just about everywhere else and you would not believe the world class care we get for free other than maybe our higher taxes. You'd sooner spent it on the military. Dumb! Whoa, I just had to edit...at 15:00 Costa Rica abolished their military and funneled that money into schools, health care, etc. What a concept!
