The mega-popular video series, Story of Stuff, has inspired millions of people to rethink their relationship to food, water, plastic, and the way we treat our planet. Now the creator of that series, Annie Leonard, is back with a new video called “The Story of Change.” In this short animated film, she argues that “individualistic, consumer-centric ideas,” will never be enough to inspire change. What’s needed, she says, is a movement of people committed to “exercising their citizen muscles to build a more sustainable, just and fulfilling world.”
