The Story of Stuff with Annie Leonard

Take twenty minutes to see a great explanation of why we are in a pickle
with our economy, environment and culture.
Then ask your self why an identical radio from Germany would cost $50, from
the US $35, and from China $5.
Where does the intrinsic cost go if it costs the same to manufacture. What
is the externalized cost in each country? What costs in your lifestyle are you externalizing?
