Beyond climate change

Again a short film that points out with clear arguments that consumerism is leading us to disaster. This time it's an english version of a german movie. Well made, good arguments, etcetera. Does this help to achieve a wide spread change of attitude?

Much shorter but also very illustrative is the following movie about "350", which seems to be an important number.

Carbon trade?

It's the last thing you want to hear, but a necessity to be heard. Get real. Listen, look and shiver:

The Story of Stuff

Bringing sustainability and ecological awareness to a next level is what Annie Leonard tries with the website The Story of Stuff.

Het project includes an astonishing effective movie and a book that will be released one of these days. 

Here the full movie in the youtube version:

HOME, another inconvenient truth

Nature and the decline of it as never seen before. Heartbreaking beautiful and sad at the same time ... Watch the trailer. Make time to see the movie on line. Than draw your conclusions and act accordingly.

See the whole story HERE. 

Al Gore's movie "An inconvenient truth" (see trailer HERE) might cause more fear. "Home" hammers with the most beautiful pictures on the holistic nature of our habitat and tries at the end to turn pessimism into enthusiasm to do something substantial now.

30 Reasons

30 Reasons was a 30-day email and internet campaign to encourage people to vote for Barack Obama. The goal was simple: Use design to build a logical, multi-faceted argument for Obama and make it easy to share each reason with another person. 

30 graphic designers created a poster that represented a reason to vote for Obama. Every day a new poster was released and posted online. Whether it contributed to get Obama elected is not known. But the idea is great. Alike the posters.

Midway

Too horrible to watch with a conscious mind: Midway. Message from the Gyre. Thanks to YouTube being the channel that makes it possible that also these inconvenient truths are shared.
