The Story of Stuff
Monday, December 24, 2007 at 12:19PM 
If you've been following the Advent Conspiracy, this 20-minute online video is a good summary of the production cycle of our 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.
It's easy to politicize or ignore this, but it's worth doing some theological reflection on these issues.
