The Story of Cap & Trade

This video is another in a series featuring Annie Leonard, who previously presented us with The Story of Stuff and the Story of Bottled Water. In The Story of Cap & Trade Annie introduces us to the concept of cap & trade in our current state of industry. It is quite frightening to know that our planets well being is being wilingly sacrificed by several few with power in order to profit from economic gain. Though her point about "paying back our ecological debt" would do its fair share in striking fear into those who are still oblivious to the fact of our declining environment.

All is not doom and gloom however. Several companies are now getting on the bandwagon of ensuring their actions as an enterprise do as little harm as possible to our environment. This would only bode well for a future where our resources currently look pretty bleak. The consumption of these raw materials are now at an alarming rate. Changes done now are imperative to the sustainability and future of our planet.
