Annie sheds light on our consumption craze.
She connects the dots between all the stuff in our lives and the environmental, economic, and social issues we face with rapid-fire, fact-filled stories.
Annie brings humor and hope to what is all too often bleak - She shows how we can move towards a more just and sustainable future.


The Story of Stuff

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

With over 12 million on-line views, The Story of Stuff is one of the most widely viewed environmental-themed short films of all time. Since its release in December 2007, The Story of Stuff has been shown in thousands of schools, houses of worship, community events and businesses around the world. www.storyofstuff.org
