Green Resolutions for 2008

Activist Annie Leonard spent 20 years finding out where 'stuff' comes from and where it goes when we, consumers, are finished with it. This 20 minute cartoon short is comical, clear-ended and fact-filled in describing the US global economy. May it shake you up enough for a resolution worth keeping this 2008.

Here are a couple of teasers that will lead you to the full 20 minute feature:

Dear Sony,
Thanks for putting this up. It's a really important message in terms even I can understand.
