Annie Leonard is an expert in international sustainability and environmental health issues. For over 20 years, she has traveled the world investigating factories and dump sites. In this fast paced, entertaining, and highly informative interactive video, she exposes connections between our excessive production/consumption patterns and many of our social and environmental problems. And in her witty way with this serious subject, Annie Leonard also explains how consumerism became our national agenda. There is a lot of food for thought (and suggestions for involvement) packed into this 20 minute animated video.
My love affair with handmade products has been going on for years, but facts brought to light in this video put buying handmade right up there with recycling and reusable grocery bags for me.
