This is a great story of our consumption and what impact it has on us and the planet. Let me know what you think.

I started it, but the woman was far too patronizing.

Yea, I should have said the message was good. She was a bit hard to listen to so I watched it in bits. A few of her facts seemed a bit simplistic and even dubious (99% of what we buy is discarded in 6 months and we only keep 1%- sounds like a statistics game with averages to make her point). But overall I thought the message was good.
