The Story of Stuff - Consumption
The bottom line is we are consuming too much - too fast - with disregard to the environment and unsustainability of our voracious consumption
In the last 30 years, 1/3 of natural resource space has been consumed - wasted away through cutting, mining, hauling
- In the US just less than 4% of the forests remain - 40% of the US water has become undrinkable
