Too Much Stuff

Wednesday, December 05, 2007

Today Kent posted a link to the Story of Stuff website. It has a 20 minute video. It's long but well worth watching. Most of the facts I basically knew already but it does a really good job of tying everything together and explaining what we're doing to the planet.

I believe in cutting down my impact on the environment. I don't totally buy into the green movement. It's partly because it's now become popular and companies are using it to market even more stuff. I also think there are so many simple things that can easily be done that get ignored because they aren't something big and radical. A couple months ago I wrote about some ways to help the environment for Blog Action Day.

Of course we're in the biggest stuff buying month of the year. I even have a cycling and outdoor gear search on this site. I also have a cycling and outdoor deals blog so you can buy even more stuff with the money you have. If you're going to buy it, just make sure it'll get used and then use it until it's worn out instead of just out of fashion.
