Many of you have already seen the video, “The Story of Cap and Trade.” David Roberts of Grist writes,

> The greenosphere is all abuzz about a new video from Annie Leonard, creator of semi-famous anti-consumerism video/book *[The Story of Stuff](http://www.storyofstuff.com/)*.

While the video is very engagingly done and gets many things right, it unfortunately gets some important things wrong.

David addresses some of those things in his response to it:

> …I think it’s the wrong argument. Activists like Leonard are just mis-identifying the barriers to effective climate action. I’ll have lots more to say on that subject soon, but for now, let’s focus on the video.
