The Story of Stuff

The Story of Stuff

Posted using ShareThis

Annie Leonard is the author and host of our very own The Story of Stuff. She is author of The Story of Stuff, the book, published by Free Press of Simon and Schuster on March 9, 2010.

Annie has spent nearly two decades investigating and organizing on environmental health and justice issues. She has traveled to 40 countries, visiting literally hundreds of factories where our stuff is made and dumps where our stuff is dumped. Witnessing first hand the horrendous impacts of both over- and under- consumption around the world, Annie is fiercely dedicated to reclaiming and transforming our industrial and economic systems so they serve, rather than undermine, ecological sustainability and social
equity...


I urge any reader of this to visit her site via the links above and educate or re-educate yourself about our environment and our STUFF...

About Me

My photo
I took the moniker when I was doing regular kayak rentals on one of my local lakes... While paddling, I always came back with a kayak-full of garbage that I picked up around the shore... Because I was there so often, the rental people started calling me Kayak Dave... My first kayaking excursion as a introductory sunset paddle on the Intercoastal Waterway near Hilton Head, SC... I was hooked and then a dolphin surfaced next to my kayak... WOW!
