Looking after the environment is often about personal choices.  Every person can make a difference by changing his or her pattern of behavior.  In a world of finite resources one of the most important things a person can do is reduce, reuse and recycle the resources that they use. 

Stuff encourages thinking and action beyond the traditional three R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and is committed to a new model of caring for the earth through Renew, Replenish and Restore.
