I have come across an excellent material -- The Story of Stuff that encourages viewers to reduce consumption, preserve natural resources and reduce pollution. The story tells that USA, which has just 5% of world's population consumes about 30% of world's natural resources. If every one on the earth starts consuming at the rate of Americans, we would need more than 3 earths to get the natural resources. It also talks about commercial and Government interests that encourage people to keep buying stuff, which in-turn leads to the problem of too much exploitation of natural resources, creation of garbage and toxic waste, global warming and so on. The site, www.StoryOfStuff.com contains a lot of useful resources. Please visit the site for the benefit of the Earth.
