Abstract
Though often at odds, the stories of my Italian heritage, my Roman Catholic faith, and my consumer suburban upbringing all contributed to the person I am today and to the core of my beliefs. [...] along with my own self-examination has come the realization that a cultural shift toward real sustainable living will not come from political or social change, but from deep personal change and individual action. The third, "The Hands," attempts to build awareness about all of the hands that produce our consumer goods and the environmental justice issues they encounter.
