The Right Stuff

Annie Leonard, best known for the creation of an animated documentary about the life cycle of Stuff and entitled “The Story of Stuff”, explains in a namesake book the polluting process through which the Stuff is created and eventually dismissed.

The way the government wants us to use the internet now is that we have to pay for packages of websites to be able to use them, you pay for these packages through your ISP (Internet Service Providers). What they want to do is take away our right to a free internet and regulate what we do. They say that they will free us when they rid us of net neutrality; they will not.
