Zogby Survey finds.....As many Americans await the
arrival of rebate checks from the federal government aimed
at boosting the U.S. economy, a new Zogby Interactive poll
finds just 28% believe the government's economic stimulus
rebate plan will help.

New York Times.
The Story of Stuff
by Annie Leonard The Story of Stuff is a
20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of
our production and consumption patterns. From its
extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in
our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most
of this is hidden from view. 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.
