 \n\nPoint of Return\nPoint of Return, a 17 minute video documentary, shows 
 what happens to your recyclables after they leave the curb and explores 
 sustainable choices, evaluating local, regional, and international 
 consequences.  Using Oakland and the Pacific Rim as a case study, Point of 
 Return looks at recycling beyond its environmental dimensions, highlighting 
 its importance as a land use and economic development issue.  The 
 documentary seeks to raise the profile of these topics among the general 
 public (aka “consumers”), elected officials, and other decision makers. 
  Point of Return moves beyond the “feelgood” comprehension of 
 recycling, putting it in context of the quest for Zero Waste, and the 
 infrastructure necessary to achieve a more sustainable economy.\n\nMovie 
 Length: 17 min.\n\n \n\nEscape from Affluenza\n\nEver considered giving up 
 the "rat race"? Worried you're spending too much money, getting caught up 
 in consumerism and leaving behind your true values? Want to know how to put 
 simple living into practice?\n\nEscape from Affluenza is a one-hour PBS 
 special providing practical solutions to the problem of "affluenza" — an 
 epidemic of stress, waste, overconsumption and environmental decay. Escape 
 from Affluenza shows how some Americans are calling a halt to keeping up 
 with the Joneses and abandoning the consumer chase.\n\nMovie Length: 
 56min.\n\n \n\nForum Speakers:\nSteve Lautze and Dave Waldorf, from The 
 Northern California Recycling Association (NCRA) who are the creators of 
 this Point of Return!!\nSteve is one of the co-producers of the film (and 
 also is actually in it). Dave has been a key member of the team that has 
 developed and promoted the film.\nwww.ncrarecycles.org\n\nRachel Balsley 
 from The Berkeley Environmental Alumni Network (BEAN), who engages alumni 
 from the University of California at Berkeley in professional and fun 
 networking opportunities as well as environmental philanthropy and 
 volunteering activities that benefit the 
 University."\nwww.calbean.org\nwww.stopwaste.org\n\n\n\nAbout Urban 
 Alliance for Sustainability (UAS):\n\nUAS seeks to integrate and inspire 
 the sustainability movement in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. By
