Re: [Videolib] Recommended DVDs on envrionmental sustainability?
Hi Mo You have had so many recommendations, I know, but I can't resist pointing out these films from Filmakers Library which might have a different angle on the theme. The Tipping Point: Global Warming at the Arctic Circle (new release) The Arctic sea ice, a plate of ice roughly the size of Europe, is disappearing. In addition to the environmental concerns, the political and economic implications are dramatic. (Click on titles for full description.) Mad Cow, Sacred Cow (new release) With a sense of humor and curiosity, the filmmaker explores the shocking connections between the mad cow crisis, the farm crisis, and the global food crisis. Globalization emerges as a recurring theme, connecting the food we eat to the environmental, cultural, economic and health crises we are currently facing. .51 min. Men in Danger: Environmental Effects on Fertility (new release) Sperm production in humans has suffered a spectacular drop; by 50% in 50 years. In addition, testicular cancers and congenital malformation of male reproductive organs are on the rise. This disturbing documentary looks at findings that point to pollutants as the cause of endocrinal changes in the male reproductive system.52 min. Storms over China Global warming, combined with Chinese agricultural practices, few rainstorms, and violent winds have produced increasingly intense sandstorms in northwest China, leading to desertification. Trash Trade: Selling Garbage to China Japanese waste is turning into gold in the hands of Chinese dealers who extract valuable metal and plastic from mountains of scrap. But not all Japanese trash is welcome.49 min Venetian Dilemma With stunning imagery, this film portrays the fragile urban ecology of Venice besieged by 14 million tourists who far outnumber the local residents. By tracking four Venetians who are trying to make a life in this unique historic place, the themes of urban gentrification and tourist impact are raised -- a problem not only for Venice but for many other urban areas. 56 min. Slow Food Revolution Traditional foods are at risk of disappearing forever, as a speed- obsessed world turns increasingly to fast foods. To counter this trend, there is an international movement known as Slow Food. 52 min. Regards, Sue * Sue E.

Re: [Videolib] Recommended DVDs on envrionmental sustainability?
Thanks to everyone for providing such a great list. This will be really helpful when I protest the next time someone wants to program a showing WALL-E for sustainability issues. Playing it once was fine, but it's now been played three years in a row with a different group sponsoring it each year. Each time I say it's been done, the group insists it is THE movie they want to play. I'm going to throw a fit if anyone asks me to play WALL-E again. Now that I have a very long list of alternatives to offer, maybe I'll be able to get them to choose something else. Sandra F.

Re: [Videolib] Recommended DVDs on envrionmental sustainability?
Hi, Mo Sorry to miss this on Friday because we were at the excellent Higher Education Digital Video Summit in NYC, for which many thanks to the 'Gang of Seven' organizers, and especially Jane Hutchison. As you can imagine, Bullfrog has many titles in the area of sustainability but we have put together a brochure specifically for higher education that is geared both to institutional efforts to make their own campuses more sustainable and to instruction on the subject. Here's the link: www.bullfrogfilms.com/brochures/BullfrogSustainabilityBrochure.pdf As you will see the brochure divided up into different areas such as Global Warming, Food and Hunger, Green Building, Water, Community Development etc. Call me if you want specific recommendations in different areas.
