Animated Film Joins ‘The Story of Stuff’ In Making You Think about Sustainability

So recently we presented “The Story of Stuff,” a documentary certain to make you think about whether and how the world can continue to make the things it needs without using up all its energy and natural resources.

“Mr. Box” is also about sustainability, and while it looks like a cartoon, it’s going to get you thinking about the same issues.

Poor Mr. Box. His trip to Grandma’s house was no picnic.

“Capturing America’s Endangered Species”

From CBS News in the U.S. comes a video essay that captures the fork in the road where mankind now stands.

Will we do what is needed to save the many endangered species that can still be saved?

Or will we wait until it’s too late, like it turned out to be for the Columbia Basin Pygmy Rabbit we meet at the start of this short film?

Think about it as you’re watching.

"Adam Purple and the Garden of Eden"

“Adam Purple and the Garden of Eden” is a cautionary tale about people’s natural instinct to want to beautify their surroundings.

Adam Purple lived in a completely rundown section of New York City. As tenement buildings were torn down in the 1970s, he cleared away the rubble and created a beautiful community garden.

A decade later, however, the city removed the garden to make way for new buildings.

Should it have?

“Astonish Me”

From the World Wildlife Fund comes a short film with Hollywood stars Gemma Arterton and Bill Nighy guiding a boy through a real-life wonderland of fascinating species waiting to be discovered.

The question is: will we preserve them long enough to allow them to be discovered?

What do you think?
