Annie’s story tells us what is wrong and why. What we are doing with the Co-op is finding what is right and how we can do the rights things so we can break the cycle of consumerism.

I LOVE this short film and its big impact. I was so excited when Annie was on Stephen Colbert a few weeks ago. Best, Serene
