Re: The Story of Stuff - Ch.1: Introduction

Many of the comments regarding this video are completely missing the point... the objective of this classroom exercise wasn't to prove that the students are lazy, or can't work Google, or are just "morons." This project is HIGHLIGHTING the fact that there is an absence of solutions presented in Ms. Leonard's video! In a film that is meant to educate the public, there should be tangible solutions presented, not just scare tactics.

@jmadavi
That film is targeted at 3rd or 4th grade children.
It is not meant to educate the public, pull the transcripts and run them thru a Flesch-Kincaid readability test.
That script was written very carefully with the intent to indoctrinate !

Annie's video should be titled "The left-wing, progressive view of the world and how we intend to indoctrinate kids into thinking the same way we do so our social justice agenda can be perpetrated around the globe.

Or may something more concise, like "Junk Science for Fools".

Hello Annie,
Yes ........... and how about using some real facts and figures and not inaccurate and deceptive propaganda that only serves your agenda at the Tides Foundation.
* School kids .... look that one up.

America is the most enviornmentally friendly country on the planet right now, and we get better every year. Our per-capita pollution is far lower than any other developed nation on the planet.
This video is just garbage.

We should (or i should) do things in moderation. Storyofstuff made me think. Sure it may have scared some, but maybe we ARE part 8.

I love my stuff. Material things. I know i shouldn't, but i enjoy my lcd tv, my cpu, my dvd collection, sound system, and video games. But as i look back, how many games do i still play, what does my old cell phone do now that i have a new one, how many times do i watch those dvds again, and i do watch alot of tv, but what can i be doing instead? I'm not saying these things are all bad to have and do, but sometimes we need a wakeup call.

in socialistic economy u do not own private property, u do as ur told, obama good, parents and today's society-bad, listen and follow obama, civil service, unions, green, world union, listen to obama only, don't listen to anyone else, re-educate kids first, change their minds, get them to follow obama
