I was seriously taken aback by the crowds and conspicuous consumption. And that made me think about a short film that was sent to me this weekend. The Story of Stuff. (thanks for the pointer, Daneet!)

Thanks for spreading the love-word-message. I just got the vid link in my inbox this week. My sister’s dear friend was the producer.
