About this organization
Mission
We have a problem with Stuff. We use too much, too much of it is toxic and we don’t share it very well. But that’s not the way things have to be. Together, we can build a society based on better not more, sharing not selfishness, community not division. The Story of Stuff Project’s journey began with a 20-minute online movie about the way we make, use and throw away all the Stuff in our lives. Five years and 40 million views later, we’re a Community of more than a million changemakers worldwide, working to build a more healthy and just planet.
About
Through the community engagement program, Story of Stuff told stories about important environmental and public health issues through a documentary and animated movies, a library of movies, and robust social media engagement with a global network of community members. The organization campaigned to save water for the public good and prevent plastic from trashing the environment. Catalog Choice is a program that provides a free junk mail opt out service that saves environmental resources and helps people simplify their lives.
