The ‘true’ Story of Stuff

Great critique of “The Story of Stuff”.
If you don’t know what “The Story of Stuff” is. Well its a video series by Annie Leonard, Greenpeace activist and a critic of excessive consumerism. These videos are a propaganda by her to show how capitalism is destroying the planet. The videos are full of outright lies and misrepresentation of facts and a mere tool for her to further her neo-communist agenda. Sadly however, these videos are being shown in US schools by teachers who thought, with their limited understanding of the facts of the matter under consideration, that these would be a nice way to teach students to be environmentally conscious.
Anyways, watch these videos which debunk her lies. Its pretty awesome.
And do leave comments. I would like to know your views on the matter.
“are a propaganda by her to show how capitalism is destroying the planet. The videos are full of outright lies and misrepresentation of facts and a mere tool for her to further her neo-communist agenda”
When you make an allegation, spruce it up with proper arguments rather than saying big words like communist propaganda – that is an often used way when people cannot counter arguments put forward properly. Next time good luck.
For that you should watch the video. Gives enough examples on how she is wrong or lying. I don’t think there is much of a ‘communist propaganda’. Just that, there are still some fools who think communism might work. Scratch a environmentalist of today and you will very likely find a commie of yesteryear
