Movies that make a difference

We have a problem with Stuff: we have too much of it, too much of it is toxic, and we don’t share it very well. But that’s not the way things have to be. Almost 20 years ago, our first movie The Story of Stuff, launched an honest conversation about our consumption-crazed culture. Now, we're an environmental nonprofit building a more just and sustainable future.
