cool Documentary- The Lightbulb Conspiracy

This was the birth of Planned Obsolescence, the cornerstone of the economic growth of the western world in the 20th century.Originally titled Pyramids of Waste, the documentary The Lightbulb Conspiracy addresses the arc and consequences of this policy.

The Story of Stuff

Hey everybody! I just watched this great documentary called the Story of Stuff about the origins of American Consumerism, and how it effects the planet. Hopefully, you will find it as thought-provoking and entertaining as I did! This video helped remind me why we wanted to run a green company! It's not enough to make money if we make the world a worse place in the process... at least that's how WE see it!
peace,
