“The Story of Stuff” is a whimsical cartoon about the perils of our consumption-driven society that is apparently very popular in America's schools. I like adorable Communist propaganda as much as the next person, but this strikes me as pretty radical for school. But I guess kids get the “capitalism is good” viewpoint, you know, all the time, so it can't hurt to hear a counterpoint. (Note: this is just a teaser for the 20-minute cartoon.)
Science Buzz This online video - also available for download (beware: it’s 50mb!) - tackles the consequences of American hyper-consumption in a refreshingly irreverent manner. Seriously, shut down your computer, unplug your iPod, turn off your PDA, cap your water bottle, take off your sunglasses, and learn how to make a difference. Don’t worry - it’s only 20 minutes long, so you can get back to texting shortly.
