From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever. Highly recommended. 15 minute talk on sustainable enterprise.Anderson is one of my personal modern heroes./egs

[FCO] OFFER: Washing Machine & Dryer (Orleans) - 78 minutes ago, 0 comments
ge 10 cycle 2 speed washing machine. was working when put in storage 3 years ago. guessing that it is probably 10 years old. white. top loading. kenmore 80 series dryer. also been in storage for 3 years. guessing that this machine is 4 - 5 years old. when hooked up to 220 volts, the blower works extremely well but i could not get any heat out of it. i did not try to determine a cause but looking at the shape of the dryer it should be working properly. i acquired these machines as a result of a diplomatic neighbour being posted home and vacating his house as of yesterday. he had been storing them for the mission in the event a washer or dryer broke down among the other diplomats. priority will be given to quick pickup and whether taking both. wil orleans
