The “Story of
Stuff”, narrated by Annie Leonard, is a short 20 minute video that tracks the

a fun and simple way. The system of producing stuff is interacting with
cultures and communities affecting humans, and exhausting the natural
resources. These factors are often ignored when talking about the production
systems. The core of this problem is the change in consumption behavior in the
last few decades. This essay will
discuss the following different aspects of the story of stuff: extraction, production, distribution, consumption and finally disposal. The essay will then briefly discuss the
