Host: The Natural Step Monona. Films: “Carbon Nation” with two shorts “For the Price of a Cup of Coffee” and “Extreme Heat”.
“Carbon Nation” (86 min.) is a business film, a national defense film, an energy-reduction film. The heroes in the film are pragmatists. “Carbon Nation” is a documentary movie about climate change solutions. Even if you doubt the severity of the impact of climate change or just don't buy it at all, this is still a compelling and relevant film that illustrates how solutions to climate change also address other social, economic, and national security issues. You'll meet a host of entertaining and endearing characters along the way.
"For the Price of a Cup of Coffee" is a 15-minute documentary examining the life cycle of a paper cup and the repercussions of a society reliant on convenience. Why are fewer than 1% of coffee shop patrons bringing their own cups? Why do we have so much garbage, and where does it go? What is the true cost of a disposable culture? This film is full of information that all consumers should know about the products that we use every day, and the steps we need to make towards a more sustainable world.
