The Story of Stuff

I was just visiting the Posegate blogspot to see what little Evan Posegate (who just turned 2) has been up to, and found a great link, posted by his Mom to "The Story of Stuff." The Posegates are now composting like good Ithacans, and this video made Sarah think more about their consumer habits.
Maybe it's just the contrast of moving from a rural setting to an urban one, but I am struck by how Japanese urbanites are hyper-consumers. One has to wonder where they put all the stuff they buy, because many live in tiny apartments.

If you have a few minutes, please watch this.
