The Library of STUFF is a Mullum Cares project. It provides affordable access to quality goods for the Byron Shire Community including individuals, families, businesses and Not For Profit (NFP) organisations (including schools).
The inspiration for the Library came from Annie Leonard’s Story of Stuff movie (watch below) that details the detrimental effects of increasing consumption of low quality products.
With cheaper, less durable options constantly available, more expensive, longer lasting goods are being purchased less and less and the impact is evident in the increasing volume of waste our communities are producing.
This consumption level is not sustainable as the raw materials being used are not renewing themselves as fast as are taking them. We would need 4 planet Earth’s to continue at current rates. Add to this projection the fact that our global population is growing and the urgent need for conservation efforts is clear.
