Hey Everyone,
A friend sent me this link, and it's a really great overview of the whole consumer system from mining and extraction of minerals and resources to manufacturing to consumption and then disposal. There's a twenty minute video and the links to a lot of other information.

I like this website, because it is very empowering towards the responsibilities and impact that consumers can make. When thinking about current environmental crises it is easy to become overwhelmed by problems that are just too big for one person or one family to do anything about. Yet being an educated and conscientious consumer is vital to supporting progressive sustainable trends.
Anyway, I thought this might interest some of you.
Also, what about those gas prices, eh?
