Post-Carbon Futures
Icarus Films • 52m
Directed by Yves Billy • Documentary • 2010 • 53 minutes
POST-CARBON FUTURES, a companion documentary to MR. CO2, examines the options — from massive wind and solar projects, to re-engineering the planet itself, to more modest local efforts. The film makes the case that we need a completely different approach to economic growth and prosperity — that geo-engineering and building huge projects simply in order to maintain a consumer society makes no sense. Instead of focusing on international treaties, maybe our best hope for bold changes lies right in our backyards.
