from Jay Cross and Internet Time Group
The Story of Stuff is a twenty-minute animated movie about the sources of pollution and what to do about them.
This won’t have the impact of An Inconvenient Truth, Greenpeace, or Silent Spring. On the other hand, those eat up a couple of hours to a couple of years of your time.
Most people will never invest the time to listen to Al Gore or Rachel Carson.
The message per minute of The Story of Stuff is tough to beat.

This is one of my bookmarks for two reasons: the message and the delivery of the message. I found it a great example of combining narration, low-level graphics, and video, along with a compelling story.
it was excellent movie. Who is al gear
I love the presentation. I found The Story Of Stuff a month or two ago and have been using it as an innovative example for our team to look at. We are looking at new technologies for our eLearning solutions, but I want to stress the importance of new approaches too!
Truth always wins, that’s the story of stuff. My evaluation of “stuff” entering my space, be it home or office has taken on a whole new meaning. I know it’s going to be tough when I ask myself – “do I really need this STUFF”?
