Since December’s brvnch was dominated by our White Elephant gift exchange, we decided to show a shorter, but none-less-relevant, documentary - The Story of Stuff. 

I first saw this video during my last year at OU, and it completely blew my mind. And when I watched the faces of our brvnchers as it played, I remembered that shocked, angry feeling very well.

The 20-minute movie (which you can watch in full, above, or on the website) explains the current process of how all our stuff is extracted, made, consumed and disposed of, demonstrating how our emphasis on unlimited growth is inherently flawed. The perfect message for the holiday season, right?

This is one of those movies everyone should see, and doesn’t have an excuse to not see.
