There's a new video in Annie Leonard's Story of Stuff series. After exploring problems with the way we produce and consume water, cosmetics, and, of course, stuff, she has turned her attention to electronics.

If you're already hip to the problem of e-waste, this video might not teach you anything new, but most people aren't. Also, I think the animation in these videos has gotten significantly better as they've become more popular.

Here, by the way, is a link to the Electronics TakeBack Coalition, which sponsored this latest video.
