In Part Two of "The Story of Stuff" we find out how the system of buying goods actually works and why it has developed the way it has. Why do we always feel like we need more stuff? Why don't things last like they did fifty years ago? Why are we all working so much more than we used to? And how does this all relate to the countries that manufacture our products? 99% of all our stuff is thrown in the trash within six months of us buying it. The reality is alarming - it's time we learnt about it and starting making changes. Check out www.storyofstuff.com
