About This Collection

Annie Leonard is an American proponent of sustainability and critic of excessive consumerism.

Leonard is best known as the creator and narrator of the animated documentary about the life-cycle of material goods, The Story of Stuff (2007). The documentary began as an hour-long talk and was made into a condensed film version based on popular demand. She also published a book version of the film.

After The Story of Stuff, she created Story of Cap and Trade in 2009, which is on the topic of emissions trading, as well as, in 2010, The Story of Bottled Water, The Story of Cosmetics and The Story of Electronics. In March 1, 2011, Leonard released The Story of Citizens United v. FEC and later that year, The Story of Broke.

The Story of Solutions explores how to move our economy toward a sustainable and just future by redefining its core objective. The current "Game of More" prioritizes endless growth—more consumption and infrastructure—despite worsening health, rising inequality, and environmental degradation.

What if our economic goal wasn't just "more," but "better"? Imagine an economy focused on improved health, quality jobs, and a viable planet. This reorientation would redefine what true success means for us all.
