I had to post all seven chapters of this awesome video that explains the Story of Stuff. Their website http://StoryOfStuff.com isn’t working but this video makes you THINK.
Let 2008 be the year we all consume less.
Usually I would embed the videos right in my blog post but apparently the theme I’m using doesn’t like embedded videos 
so… click each one in order and they should open in a new window.
Chapter 1: Introduction
found these in the magazine Parents - I was surprised because most of the time I have issues with most of their articles.
Here they are! I thought I’d share:
and
Enjoy!

I met LaTara online and love her new site! I’m not a vegan yet but her site sure is helping!
Thanks LaTara for providing such a great site with fantastic information!
Take care,

Kaius ‘draws’ - I say draws because he doesn’t like to color… he wants to use a pen and only wants blank white paper - that he goes through faster than you can imagine.
Yesterday he drew a 5 that looked like an S but called me from the stove to tell me it was a 5.
Today he drew a 9 - which was really a six from the direction he drew it lol - he called me from the computer to see that one.
Too cute!
Thanks to Yvonne for sharing this with everyone in the prosperity group!
According to an old tale I heard once, a Hindu merchant dreamed one
night that he died. To his bewilderment, he found himself standing in
a large room, entirely bare. Puzzled as to where he was, he looked
around and saw a door with a small, neatly printed sign which read
“For the Damned.” Having no other place to go, he opened the door and
entered.
In front of him was an enormous table spread with the rarest
delicacies of food and drink. Seated around the table were a number of
people; each was tied to a chair with his arm fastened behind his
back. To the free hand of each person was fastened a spoon with a
handle too long to be used to get food into his mouth. Although food
fit for gods lay within inches of them, the poor wretches were
obviously suffering from the final stages of starvation.
The Hindu quickly backed out of the room and closed the door. It was
only then he saw another door bearing a sign, “For the Saved”.
He opened the second door and for a moment he thought he had
mistakenly entered the same room. Before him was the table spread with
delicacies. The people seated about it were tied to their chairs with
one hand tied behind their backs; a spoon too long from them to use
was tied to their free hand.
Now just before his dream ended, the Hindu became aware of one great
difference between the people in the two rooms. Instead of starving,
the people in the second room were happy and well fed. Though their
spoons were too long to use to feed themselves, they found they were
not too long to feed their neighbors.
