FILM: Affluenza – An unsustainable addiction to economic growth
<b>Sept. 20, 7:30 p.m. </b> Americans, who make up only five percent of the world's population, use nearly a third of its resources and produce almost half of its hazardous waste. Add overwork, personal stress, the erosion of family and community, skyrocketing debt, and the growing gap between rich and poor, and it's easy to understand why some people say that the American Dream is no bargain. Many are opting out of the consumer chase, redefining the Dream, and making "voluntary simplicity" the in-thing. 56 min, 1997.
Best Documentary, National Wilbur Awards; Silver Apple, National Educational Media Network Competition; Honorable Mention, Columbus Int'l Film & Video Festival. Speakers (for some films), discussion, socializing, and drinks/snacks follow the screening. Part of a continuing series from World Centric 650-283-3797. For a complete schedule and description of upcoming films, go to www.worldcentric.org. Location: Unitarian Universalist Church, 505 E. Charleston, Palo Alto, CA.
