In this feature Festival presentation, Annie Leonard (co-creator of the enormously successful The Story of Stuff) brings us her latest empowering story. The Story of Change urges us to put down our credit cards and start exercising our citizen muscles to build a more sustainable, just and fulfilling world.

"I’ve come to see that we have two parts to ourselves; it’s almost like two muscles – a consumer muscle and a citizen muscle. Our consumer muscle, which is fed and exercised constantly, has grown strong. So strong that “consumer” has become our primary identity, our reason for being. We’re told so often that we’re a nation of consumers that we don’t blink when the media use “consumer” and “person” interchangeably".
