It’s possible that we’ve posted about this before, but in case I’m wrong, or in case you missed it: check out this amazing short called The Story of Stuff. You’ll learn a pantload, guaranteed.

EEK. I agreed with many points, but a lot were just wrong, or at least portrayed in a manner which made you think it was one way, but is actually another if you do your research (creative deception!).
I enjoyed Andy Kaiser’s review on the video on andybrain… I agree with a lot of his review. Not all, but a lot! I suggest giving it a read if you have time… he breaks it down and addresses each point.
