Annie Leonard Story of Stuff
1. Do you think the government is really by the people, for the people now in days?
2. Are the U.S.A. and other countries using so many resources that you think we will run out before the planet can regrow these resources, or do you think there is enough effort in regrowth that we will be able to sustain?
3. Does the quote Annie says about only using 1% of products purchased after 6 months (11:15), change your opinions on how much you want to purchase?
4. After hearing that companies purposely use planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence, do you think people will ever be happy and satisfied with their newer products?
5. Annie raps it up in the end with the topic of recycling and changing our ways of consumerism (18:10). After watching, did it affect your mind frame about your personal consuming?

Grizzly Man
The last thing Herzog says in his film:
“Treadwell is gone. The argument how wrong or how right he was disappears into a distance, into a fog. What remains is his footage. And while we watch the animals in their joys of being, in their grace and ferociousness, a thought becomes more and more clear. That it is not so much a look at wild nature as it is an insight into ourselves, our nature. And that, for me, beyond his mission, gives meaning to his life and to his death.”
