Product Stewardship: A Better Way
Product Policy Institute produced and funded a narrated PowerPoint and brochure for the California Product Stewardship Council that explains why local governments are starting Product Stewardship Councils to change the way waste is managed and products are designed. A fact-filled Brochure [1]based on the video can be viewed or downloaded. More recently, the Northwest Product Stewardship Council (Washington and Oregon) developed their own narrated PowerPoint based on California’s.

The Story of Stuff by Annie Leonard is an engaging, funny presentation of the "global materials economy" that leads to over-production, over-consumption and over-wasting. Local governments have been unwitting "enablers" of throw-away products and packaging for the past century (see History of Waste [8]).
