annie leonard video

Wow that is a lot of information, twenty minutes seemed to go by in a flash. I have never heard someone speak so broadly yet so succinctly on the subject. Annie Leonard brings up a lot of facts and comparisons that really surprised me. To hear the massive differences from only 30 years ago is amazing. Every now and then you hear a fact, which makes you think "things are pretty bad" with our planet, but it never stays with me for more than a few days.Annie, through her extensive research has pulled the most important facts and laid them out cold for all to see. However, more than that, she explains the far reaching implications and what can be done. When explained so concisely its hard not to notice and consider what you could be doing to help. 
At first i thought,  "oh great, here's a naive greeny" but i was wrong. Annie Leonard comes across as well researched, unbiased and thoughtful. After watching the video i have a lot of questions (she would be a good guest speaker) and i truly want to do more slow the affect we our having on our one and only earth. I wish more people could see this.

There is a wonderful profile of Annie Leonard, creator of Story of Stuff, in the Sept/Oct 2008 issue of Women's Adventure Magazine. She is amazing. Check it out.
