I realize this is not a usual post but I just had to pass it along anyway!

Ever wonder where all the stuff you own, buy or throw away comes from or goes to? I do it often, especially all of the plastic bags people use everyday, but that's not what this post is about. I came across this site and the story of a short 20 minute documentary by a woman named Annie Leonard. She wondered the same thing, where does all of our stuff come from, how do we get it and what happens between its making and our buying. She spent 10 years researching it and put together this great little film. You can watch it online or order yourself a copy. I guarantee it will most likely change the way you think about your stuff. Or least make you wonder if you really need it all anyway.
