DESCRIPTION:OUR SYNTHETIC SEA \nPresented by Jan Lundberg \nCulture Change 
 \n\nGeologist M. King Hubbert, who discovered peak oil, identified the fact 
 that we do not have an energy crisis but a culture crisis. He wrote: “Our 
 culture is built on growth and that phase of human history is almost over 
 and we are not prepared for it. Our biggest problem is not the end of our 
 resources. That will be gradual. Our biggest problem is a cultural problem. 
 We don’t know how to cope with it.” Jan Lundberg is determined to find 
 out how to cope and publishes his newsletter “Culture Change” as a 
 forum for helpful ideas to get people through the culture crisis that’s 
 ahead for Western civilization. Our house-of-cards economy may actually not 
 recover from what might be the Final Energy Crisis. Our culture WILL 
 change; the question is, how will we adjust. Jan Lundberg’s Culture 
 Change organization shows us a good way to reach a positive future, beyond 
 our current plague of plastic and petrocollapse. For the Earth to survive, 
 our future must be more organic, less plastic since plastic debris is 
 filling up the world’s oceans. It should be known that plastic has a 
 stranglehold on our water planet. This short, but very disturbing 
 documentary, Our Synthetic Sea, graphically exposes our addiction to a 
 lightweight, disposable lifestyle -- and the consequences. See the plastic 
 menace in the California coast and watershed. The Pacific Gyre region is 
 revisited to document the mid-ocean pelagic sea creatures and how some are 
 infested with plastic particles. See the plastic fragments ingested by 
 fledgling Albatross in Hawaii’s remote Coral Reserve, a formerly pristine 
 region now heavily contaminated with plastic debris. \n\nDonations Accepted
