The video raised some very important and very interesting issues with the way we live today.
It was amazing to hear the extent of the damage we cause to the earth and its resources just to have our products which are designed to only last for a certain time, which in the long run makes for more money to the corporations and the government. its interesting to hear that quote in the 1950's about america being so inspired to buy and consume that it would become ritual. This is how i see the world today, as governments being a big corporation revolved around money and nothing else.
another interesting point raised was about advertising and how it makes you feel bad about what you have, as apposed to advertising a good, to make you feel like you NEED it in order to feel more accepted.
overall the video had some very important issues about the way of producing goods in the future and also recycling to improve on and help to fix all the damage we have caused so far in our world of greed.

There is a wonderful profile of Annie Leonard, creator of Story of Stuff, in the Sept/Oct 2008 issue of Women's Adventure Magazine. She is amazing. Check it out.
