WHAT IS THE STORY OF STUFF?
In Professor Golda’s CM254 Media & Democracy class students where asked to watch the documentary, “The Story of Stuff.” This documentary was created by Annie Leonard and produced on December 4th, 2007 by Erica Priggen in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was promoted through YouTube to criticize excessive consumerism and promote sustainability. “The Story of Stuff” was also created to get others throughout the world more interested in creating a healthy world. Leonard wanted more people to know the harm they are causing to our environment, where they might feel more inclined to recycle or use a paper straw. Since 2007, many of the statements that Leonard makes are not as accurate as they once were. It was up to the students in Professors Golda’s class to each pick a statement and research whether or not the statement is still accurate today.
