The Story of Stuff (2007) - Ch.4: Distribution

Recycled or not... it still had to be produced! 1) The initial production had to be done to get the material from a raw state to a finished product. 2) A recycled good, though more green, still requires materials to convert it back to a finished product. Aluminum cans for instance: It takes an incredible amount of energy to convert the bauxite to aluminum to make the can. However once aluminum it still takes a significant amount of energy to melt it back down and reuse it.

This woman is on LSD man. She's delusional.

Wireless power was quickly averted by business men of years past. Free radio too with the power. See the first remote controlled boat, wireless power and control. Yes, it's true. Don't listen to lies about Tesla. He kept good notes. We just can't see them.

This is complete and utter trash. The only truth that came out of her mouth was the fact that we don't TECHNICALLY pay for the production of our goods, we pay MORE than what it costs to produce thing so that the COMPANIES can make this little thing we call PROFIT. this is what they PAY THEIR WORKERS with. And the scariest part of this entire thing, THIS VIDEO IS BEING SHOWN IN SCHOOLS COUNTRY WIDE! There's a test that goes along with it. I'm only 17 and know this. IT'S BASIC ECONOMICS!

this woman is a nut who is wrong on sooooo many levels. I wonder if she truly believes the filth plopping out of her mouth or just a puppet for a socialist movement. Probably a little of both

I am glad to have grown up, educated by great teachers that were smart enough not to allow this kind of shit in their classroom. My teachers and professors taught me that the world is not perfect, make your own opinions about the world, and try to provide solutions to the worlds imperfections. Not once does she offer a solution, nor does she present accurate statistics. Anyone that has had statistics will tell you they can be easily abused and one must do their homework.

what? so you don't like the truth ? The truth hurts doesn't it ? Yeah so you can go ahead and not believe in this and be ignorant no one is pressing you to know this information. there is no law that says that being a moron is a crime so doon't worry.

Never once did I say I didn't believe it. However the majority of the statistics used in the previous clip are not correct. Do the research, we plant more trees than we cut down. My point is this, the world needs solutions not some propaganda saying we have problems. We all know we do! The egg is on you moron, less talk and more action. What kind of image is this portraying to our youth? It is discouraging them before they have an opportunity be become part of the solution.

Oh and don't enjoy that car you drive, or for you more green types, that bike you ride. And don't enjoy the computer you are blasting posts from, or the infrastructure you are connected to. All are done through manufacturing processes. This is how we have evolved as a living organism! By design we were given the ability to do so. I hate these hypocrites. In just the very fact that this film was produced means that she openly supports all of the worlds problems. Look at what it took to make it.

SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA!!!! This lady is a liberal crazy idiot, not only does she not have her facts correct on just about anything, she is funded by a group that is totally against the Constitution. I am a Teacher and can't believe ANY teacher would show this to students. Teacher's you have an obligation to do HOMEWORK also, do not be swayed by the liberals, socialist, the Unions, those against the U.S Constitution, or special interest groups.
