Production and Consumption at Brighton Library
We mentioned this video back during the Christmas season after the trampling of a Walmart worker, now Brighton Library is hosting a video and discussion:
“The Story of Stuff “ – a Video and discussion evening, facilitated by local activist Ken Illingsworth.
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009, 7:00 – 8:45 PM
Learning Center, Brighton Memorial Library, 2300 Elmwood Avenue, BrightonFREE and open to the public!
The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It’ll teach you something, it’ll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever. It has been seen by over 4 million viewers in more than 25 countries since it was released a year ago. www.storyofstuff.com
Note: January 6 is the first in a yearlong series called Creating the Future, with video and discussion evenings scheduled bi-weekly. The series is being organized by an ad hoc committee and will include a variety of topics presented by local organizations and individuals.

I talked to someone at my church who went and they said there were about 40 people there. A good cross section of folks, some suburban, some from the city. The organizers apparently wanted to have it at a location that mass transit riders could get to, and sure enough, mass transit riders came.
