More stuff from 'The Story of Stuff' team
Watch Annie Leonard as she explains the ills plaguing / wrought by the US cosmetic industry (and by the 'trickle-down' effect is applicable elsewhere also). Most cosmetic products carry a tongue-twisting what's-in-it list, intelligible only to the producer and competitors. No commercially advertised and aggressively marketed product is free of harmful chemicals - whether it's an after-shave, lipstick, or baby shampoo. "Herbal", "Natural", "Organic" carried on labels may turn out to be meaningless. Beware! Be Aware! (I wish Annie had included a note on the the amount of trash - recyclable or otherwise - that eventually piles up - directly proportionate to the company's profits) More stories from SoS team The Story of Stuff The Story of Cap and Trade The Story of Bottled Water The Story of Electronics (planned later in 2010)
