The Story of Stuff

This eye-opening exposé explores the dangers of overconsumption on the environment, economy, and our health. With compassion and humor, the book examines the everyday "stuff" we use and offers a galvanizing critique with steps for creating a changed planet. From sneaking into factories and dumps around the world to visiting textile workers in Haiti and children mining coltan for cell phones in the Congo, the author uncovers the intentional system behind our patterns of consumption and disposal. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in sustainability, community health, and economic justice.
