This issue might, MIGHT be as important as ending racism...

I just watched The Story of Stuff, a flippin' BRILLIANT short film by Annie Leonard that manages to address the problems of global warming without ever actually saying the words 'global warming'...

(Editor's note: Every time I hear the words 'global warming' I want to throw up, because to me 'global warming is just another cause that liberals will pick UP and put rigth back down when they get bored. Remember Darfur anybody?)

Annie Leonard attacks the problems created by global warming on such a macro level that you'll immediately feel guilty about that your new cellphone adapter, or your new grande chai latte, or your "needing" new shoes. (All of those describe me as I type this by the way.)

The film also manages to encourage recycling while at the same time talking about the folly of it.

WOW!

The clip below is just the introduction. The whole film is about 20 minutes long in total, and you can find it in bitesize chunks on YouTube or you can just go to www.thestoryofstuff.com and download the whole thing for free.



P.S. Annie Leonard for President!
P.P.S. Thanks, Martha!
