How our obsession with stuff is trashing the planet, out communities, and our health — and a vision for change.

Shown in thousands of classrooms, endlessly blasted by Fox News, viewed more than 10 million times, The Store of Stuff finally opens the door to a serious cultural dialog about the costs of consumption.
