                         Sustainable consumption & production: a greener world

The video is about global warming and how the planet is deteriorating.  It is said that by 2050 if we don't change the way that we produce we would need two times the surface of the Earth to store our waste and the CO2 produced.  People can check their impact by finding their ecological footprint.  In Europe govs are trying to control the impact by making the ecological label.  That tells consumers they are making a good choice for future generations when the buy certain product.  With that they can make sure the product doesn't use so much energy or have a rebound effect.

The trailer is to a very impacting movie.  It is hosted by Al gore who was a candidate to the presidency but is said to have been robbed from it.  In the video you see how in the last 14 years the 10 hottest have been recorded.  That is impacting us by causing greater storm like Katrina, and also melting snow from places like the arctic mount Kilimanjaro and the Patagonia.  All of that is going to raise the water levels by 20 feet covering entire states like Florida  or cities like Singapore, and Calcutta.  It is the scary truth because that could make 100 million refugees.  The question he asks is interesting, "did the planet betray us, or did we betray the planet?"
