The Story Of Stuff
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 06:28 PM by JohnnyRingo
The absolutely most enlightening presentation of the how and why of the Materials Economy.

I know, I know... that doesn't sound very exciting, but trust me on this one, you'll understand within the first 3 minutes.

Then...after you watch it, you'll know why this is the easiest test you'll ever take:

The word "intelligence" is splattered about the quiz.... but that's not what's being tested there.

3. I'm about halfway through and I'm disgusted with myself
I love a deal, and I liked to fool myself into thinking that when I got something for 80% off at Radio Shack it was Radio Shack who was eating the difference between the real cost of manufacturing the thing and the sale price... but she's made it so clear that it's people like kids in the Congo who are subsidizing my cheap electronics, etc. Those who have next to nothing are paying for someone like me to save a few bucks.

Highly recommended.
