There is a fabulous video out called The Story of Stuff by Anne Leonard.
http://www.storyofstuff.com/

You can watch if free on the internet or order a DVD version for only $10. The video starts with her unplugging her ipod. In an interview with Terrence McNally from Alternet http://www.alternet.org/story/72568/ , she discusses some of the environmental issues with the ipod and our consumptive lifestyles.

Another story, China is Our Ewaste Dumping Ground, reveals that much of our "recycled" technological gizmos and doodads end up creating horrific pollution for communities in China. http://www.alternet.org/environment/72529/

It would be great if schools started showing The Story of Stuff in their classrooms as our children are currently being indoctrinated into consumerism by TV shows and Disney movies.
