A beautifully made film that simply links environmental and social movements to promote a ‘new’ economy. It’s nothing out of this world but that’s the thing, it’s pretty much common sense yet somehow we continue to live in a world where a false illusion exist that globalization is the key to economic growth and will solve poverty. HA! End of the day,“globalization is built on handouts to big businesses”, and that is far from sustainable.
We are surrounded with “romanticize images of consumerism” and “superficial solutions”. Are we that insecure to think this will make us happy?
"Research has shown again and again and again, that biodiverse small farms using ecological inputs, produce 3 to 5 times more food than industrial producers" - Vandana Shiva
"All I need is a complete integrated farm of one acre, and I can feed 20 people. We don't need agricultural scientists, we don't need hybrid seeds, we don't need GM, we don't need anything. We just need to be left alone to do our farming." - Balaji Shankar
Intrigued? You can grab a copy of the film via this link or tweet me and we'll get a social experiment happening through twitter where we'll tweet and follow where my copy will travel, a case of collaborative consumption? #collconshappiness
