Today we've been talking about "stuff" and thinking about the implications of "stuff". Dh found a great website which I wanted to share - http://www.storyofstuff.com/. It starts with a great 20 minute presentation which brilliantly shows the links between all those issues we know to be important regarding the environment, exploitation of natural resources, cheap labour in developing countries etc etc.... but helps us to see the bigger picture. It is very much based on the American system but nevertheless, the points apply to all of us living in the Western World! It was a great conversation spinner and we hope to follow it up with some real action.
I am sure many of you are already well informed on these issues, but the children learned alot, and for me it helped put many things into perspective.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.................hmmmmm......now I think I'll just knock up a few handbags out of those old jeans......!
