|description='''The Story of Change''' is an attractive, animated video short by [[Annie Leonard]] in the style of [[The Story of Stuff]]. Starting by decrying calls to 'save the planet without leaving your couch', she looks at the historical record of how change was effected. Through examples such as [[Gandhi]]'s salt march, the US environmental movements of the 1970s &  [[Martin Luther King]]'s civil rights movement she develops a simple formula. ''Idea'' + ''People'' + ''Action'' = ''Change''
