The Story of Stuff (Annie Leonard)
In The Story of Stuff, Annie Leonard argues that waste is not a natural fact but a direct outcome of how industrial design and production systems are built.
The concept of "waste" itself, as Annie Leonard vividly argues in "The Story of Stuff," is largely a human invention and a direct outcome of industrial design and production systems.
