e-Waste & Product Design

November 10, 2010
By

I just came across a very interesting video by Annie Leonard. She’s been making little, approachable documentaries that explain difficult to understand issues—e-waste being one of those.

Here’s her latest:

The Story of Stuff.

This is the story about how stuff gets designed, made, distributed, and then trashed.

The Story of Bottled Water.

This is the story about drinking water and the marketing of bottled water.
