"The Story of Stuff" is the focus of this month's voluntary simplicity circle

We are going to watch "The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard" for February's voluntary simplicity circle (on Thursday, Feb. 14th - see here for more information and directions).
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
It can also be downloaded here, if you are interested in watching it but can't come to the meeting. The screening will be followed by a discussion, (materials can be found here).

I won't be able to make it because I will be in Washington DC, but many many thanks to Mark for setting this up!
