Finding Solutions: A New Documentary Series
Every day more people realize the current global system is unsustainable: cheap energy is over; climate change, pollution and loss of habitat are wiping out many species; and while resources are being stretched to the limit, billions still live in poverty, and the gap between global rich and poor continues to grow. Even in the industrialized world life is increasingly difficult, more stressful with less meaning.
But in the major media, while problems of energy, global warming, poverty and disease get covered, the success many people are having in living more sustainably are rarely mentioned. And even those who agree with the need for change are left to think that the current global model of industrial production and consumption, however flawed, is the only way there is. This emphasis on problems without solutions is a recipe for despair and inaction.
