The Story of Stuff Project - short films

I really enjoy this series of short, animated documentaries.  They provide information that goes to the roots of many issues.  Some of the films include the life-cycles of "stuff," electronics, cosmetics, and plastic bottles, as well as the political details behind cap & trade, the Citizens United case, etc.  They are all free to watch and download on the internet.  You can visit the website at http://storyofstuff.org and you can donate at http://bit.ly/supportSOS.

To download some or all of the videos for free, you can visit http://storyofstuff.force.com/download.
