Story of Stuff Environmental Science Video

It explains how “stuff” is made and provides eyeopening insight to the behind the scenes world of extraction -> production -> distribution -> consumption -> disposal. As an environmental science teacher, I have noticed that this video encourages my students to think about the big picture and connect the dots we have been discussing throughout the year. The video doesn’t supply all the answers to these problems, but inspires you to go out and find them for yourself. This website also has tons of great links to pursue your own knowledge and educate yourself about issues of today. Please post up on your response to the video as it would be interesting to hear what you have to say. Peace, Drew “An individual action, multiplied by millions, creates global change.”

For the song “Gone going,” (I used the Black Eyed Peas Version) we discussed everyone’s opinion of materialism, created a definition, related the concept to our current chapter on waste, and everyone commented on their view of the song and how it is related to their life. The 3 r’s, I reviewed for a test and had the students list an example of each (reduce, reuse, recycle) from the song. The students enjoy the music and learn at the same time :) -Drew
