This has been posted around QBN, but it really deserves its own thread.
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute film that takes viewers on a provocative and eye-opening tour of the real costs of our consumer driven culture—from resource extraction to iPod incineration.

The Story of Stuff: Externalized Costs and the $4.99 Radio
by Annie Leonardhttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/an…
"If the true cost of that cotton t-shirt or iPod was included in the price tag, we might think twice before throwing it out and replacing it before we really need to. Think about that next time you look at those insanely low prices on so much consumer stuff -- who is really paying the full cost of producing all this? Not the companies that sell it."

this is good, though i find her tone a little overbearing at times, which isn't the best for educating audiences outside of the choir.
