For all of us that are conscious and interested in environmental issue that we face today, this is a great short video. It's also been translated into numerous languages.  Now, language is no longer a barrier to get this info out!

Story of Stuff International with Annie Leonard Dear Free Range Fan,

It's already been a year since we launched The Story of Stuff — a tour through our materials economy that became an internet viral sensation. Now we've got something new to celebrate the birthday of a short film that became a movement!

The Story of Stuff is going international and multi-lingual:

Four and a half million English speakers have seen The Story of Stuff, but until now, the rest of the world has been left in the dark. Well, we heard from the rest of the world with thousands of offers from volunteers to translate the movie. We took them up on their offer, and now you can give your international friends the best holiday gift of all: the gift of knowledge and hope for a sustainable future.

There's no better time than the holidays to remind ourselves that happiness does not come from stuff, but from the riches of community connection and empathy for our planet and its living creatures. We hope you will get a little more happiness from sharing this message with your friends around the world:
