Watch www.storyofstuff.com; then forward the link or this article (using the small envelope at the end of the article) to family, neighbors, friends, co-workers and to educators and government representatives. Or you can use the "Tell a Friend" link right on the website. And then follow up; ask them if they watched it - all of it. Did they? Did you?
