Annie Leonard Releases "The Story of Cosmetics"

If you've seen filmmaker Annie Leonard's short videos--The Story of Stuff, The Story of Cap and Trade, and The Story of Bottled Water--you know that she has a knack for explaining environmental issues in a simple and entertaining manner. Leonard doesn't disappoint with her latest, The Story of Cosmetics. Produced as part of a partnership with the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, the 8-minute film explores the world of toxic beauty products--and demands that we take action. Check it out below.
