Another terribly unfortunate aspect of our education system in the hands of conservative Christian activits. This video is the best example grammar school teachers have of the wasteful ways of American consumption. What's even more unfortunate is how shamefully bias the video is, so much so that it can't possibly achieve a very wide audience (especially, ahem, in Georgia where I live).

In particular, she demonizes (among other things) landfills and incinerators as if operators of those facilities created the problem of restricted disposal area in the first place. She fails to mention other important aspects of dioxins, such as how barrel burning contributes significantly to the problem.

At any rate, if you're a newbie to sustainability, it's a great intro to a fascinating topic.
