The Story of Stuff shows where all our stuff comes from, where it goes after we throw it away, and how the throw-away economy has screwed us up. A good look at connections between environmental and social issues and the pursuit of sustainability. Requires 20 minutes to watch.

Fascinating. I now have a better understanding of where we're headed--and may be inclined to sway from my point of view that I voiced over Christmas.
We CAN make a difference.
By James Hunt Studios I assume you mean Hunty's amazing garage.

That is correct. This is only a small section of the creative lair of JB Hunt.
Well, I hope you all realize that every object in that corner is well used, and on a regular basis. Of course, I don't use the steering wheel much. But, the air compressor, the screw drivers (these are the rusted ones entrusted to me, vs. the Sears set locked in the closet), the paint, what can I say? Over the years I have come to see two types of garages: (1) the perfectly neat garage where no one in the house knows how to use a tool; and (2) my kind of garage... a tool for every task. And as far as the relevance to the clip, just think, almost everything in that picture has true historical value based on the mean time to incineration discussed in the film. I like the stuff. Well, that’s just me…
Hi, Huntess. How are you doing?
