The Story of Stuff... and plastic

Went to marine town Den Helder yesterday (you'll find out why within the next few days!) and was struck by this 'sea collection' on the dike, as a result of heavy winds. If this is only one fence in one place on earth this week, I am beginning to understand why there's that plastic mountain by the size of France and Spain combined, floating around in the Pacific Ocean... Luckily there's 'The Story of Stuff Project', contributing to making people environmentally, socially and economically aware. You may have seen their Story of Stuff-film, but there are also great illustrated stories on Cosmetics, Bottled Water, Cap & Trade and - just recently released - Electronics. Watch these short films here.
