Open Thread: Stuff Edition

This video/animation is amazing! Very educational. (those buttons above the vid move you to different chapters)

I hope one day that Democratic & Republican politicians understand the content of this video and really work to reverse the damage we've all caused to the planet.

What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. 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.

I passed the link on to a few of the social studies teachers at my high school. Thanks.

on this Googly search. Pretty good move by the Moore campaign to buy the top of the page on a "Beverly Perdue" search.

On the flip side, Perdue has a sponsored link on the right hand side of a search for Richard Moore.

Let the ad wars begin!

PS Actually, these have been up for awhile . . . I just finally got around to report. That's right. I'm a lazy reporter.

ads on the right sidebar of the Perdue search.

Perdue advertising on her own search page? Hmmmm....maybe not the best use of her ad dollars. :) Good move on Smather's part, though.

Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.
