Story of Stuff: May be good for motivating the young, but not enough facts

I thought this was an interesting and useful video due to the fact that I was never exposed to the suffering of the environment when I was young. Modern day children are growing up with environmental concepts being taught to them. However, I do think that the video is overly dramatic, most points are not backed up by any actual evidence, and the benefits gained from our current system were not at all covered.

Even though the video is not the best example of how to teach about environmental issues that we face today, I still think that it is needed in order to drill into children the importance of conservation and the environment. The drama of the video helps with this even if it is not appropriate for older audiences.
