More About Stuff

Annie goes through the different areas of the materials economy in The Story of Stuff. She covers a lot of ground in a short amount of time. To supplement the film, Annie put this section together to get a little deeper into the issues. Click on the link above to learn more stuff about stuff, or, click on the links to the left to jump directly into learning even more about a particular part of the materials economy.

Non-governmental Organizations

There are some great NGOs out there already working on the issues raised in the films of The Story of Stuff Project. Our list of organizations is not exhaustive. At this stage, we have limited the list to organizations in the U.S. Many more internationally can be found at wiserearth.org, an online community directory and networking forum that maps and connects non-governmental organizations working on the critical environmental and social issues of our times.
