DESCRIPTION:"Ecological Footprint"   Humans are the most successful species on the 
 planet. But our growing economy is placing unprecedented demand on the 
 planet's limited ecological resources. In the film, Dr. Mathis Wackernagel, 
 co-creator of the Ecological Footprint introduces the Ecological Footprint, 
 a resource accounting tool that measures human demand on the Earth. In just 
 thirty minutes, the film paints a picture of our current global situation: 
 for the first time, humanity is in "ecological overshoot" with annual 
 demand on resources exceeding what Earth can regenerate each year. (30 min, 
 2005)   "Gone Tomorrow: Hidden Life of Garbage"   The film explores the 
 history and politics of garbage, a substance both hidden and omnipresent. 
 In 2003, each American dumped 1,600 pounds of refuse, and our mountains of 
 trash get bigger every year. The documentary excavates the history of 
 garbage handling from the 1800s to the post-WWII golden era of consumption 
 and up through the contradictions of modern day recycling. Using 
 interviews, scenes from massive dumps, and an array of obscure and 
 beautiful archival footage, this film uncovers the links between modern 
 industrial production, consumer culture, and our disposable lifestyle. (19 
 min, 2004)  "Vanishing Ice" The world's glaciers are melting at an 
 unprecedented rate, diminishing the earth's fresh water supply and 
 threatening to kill millions in the next few decades. Stunning images of 
 Alberta's ice fields and interviews with activists sound an urgent call for 
 conservation.  (19 min, 2005)  This film to be confirmed.\n
