The Story of Stuff (Consumption Clip)

[windinthemaples]

Some of you may have seen this when it was released in 2007. Watching the full video and reading Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic. I'm getting off the treadmill. This clip pretty accurately sums up why I feel the need. Shopping isn't leading me to a meaningful life. What would you do with your extra time and money if you didn't buy stuff? I've only just begun but I have to admit, I'm spending more time outdoors and more time reading (library) books that interest me.

I first saw this a few months ago and it was such an eye opener for me. I don't know how to describe the feeling I had when I realised how much I'd fallen into the consumer trap, even though I pride myself on being non-materialistic.

More people should watch this.
