A história das coisas

This week I discovered the video The Story of Stuff (it is dubbed), a work by Annie Leonard, an international expert with experience in environmental sustainability for over twenty years probing runs the world situations of factories and warehouses and promoting anti pollution.

How well the name says, this documentary has already been seen by more than 4 million people, show clearly, the history of things around us quoting the connectivity between the global economy and the environment. That is, Annie explains step by step how it all happens from the extraction of raw materials to the unbridled consumption itself, including showing, the impacts and consequences of this disastrous and alarming.

It is a documentary very informative and gives good jabs in the rhythm of American consumption, which of course ultimately affects the rest of the world and putting us all in the same boat.

For more information, visit the official website of the project.

Actually the video is not just about "the American way of life", he shows the consequences of the acts of all of us, especially the middle class :)

Also really enjoyed the video, I discovered a few months ago and already posted about:

The highlight of the film is that no matter the region of the world where the message is run slap-in-one works very well.

Really, very cool video.
An American reality that serves for all of us.
It reminded me very much a documentary Jorge Furtado, called "Island of Flowers".
Can it be found on YouTube. It is worth tb.

Enough to give me this disgusting video. The speech comes to be interesting, but many of the things that she says would lead us to a deeper economic collapse. Oh you would see the shit that would.
