The good folks at the Story of Stuff have put together this fantastic video that explains the problem with the materials economy; a system where people strip the world of its natural resources to consume more and more products.
Although this video lacks citations to reference material, I believe that it speaks truth on many levels. For one, the main and most important point is that this system needs to change because it is not sustainable.
Watch this video now, it will change how you see the U.S. consumer economy and its unsustainable impact on the world.
Special thanks to PosiPeople Community Member, Vascabruta, for the tip to this video.

I suffered through the entire program on YouTube. I agree with you in that it speaks truth on many levels. However, who wants to hear negativity. Systems can’t be changed if “people” don’t change or want to change. “People” like their “Stuff”. That’s what America is about - stuff. Not much mention until the end about what to do with your stuff. Education and voting is a key to changing “stuff disposal”. Get ready for a lifestyle change.
