The Story of Stuff

by Annie Leonard

SUNDAY PLENARY: October 18, 2009

A key part of the American dream is centered on accumulating ever more, and better, stuff. Yet all the stuff in our lives is taking an enormous toll on the environment, public health, equity, personal happiness and even our sense of citizenship and democracy.

Acclaimed filmmaker and Internet phenomenon Annie Leonard exposes the often hidden costs and provides a hopeful vision for moving beyond the age of Stuff.
