Story of Stuff

If you have not seen the story of stuff, you should check it out. It is an amazing explanation of our consumer cycle and why it is an awful system. Handmade goods are better for so many reasons, and I think that the story of stuff illustrates one of those reasons. Handmade goods do not have the same devastating impact on the environment, economy, and people that mass-produced goods do. Handmade goods are not made with an intention of them being obsolete in a few weeks, months, or years; instead, they tend to become heirlooms.
