      @@Michael_McMillan Hey Michael, thanks for raising this. The lack of diversity is one regret we have about this film. While we did attempt to include stories with people from different ethnicities and backgrounds, it didn’t come together for us and now when we reflect on it we frankly didn’t try hard enough. If we were making this film today it would look very different and we’ve since made a commitment to ensuring our films reflect the diversity of our community.

      There are certainly animals and plants that have excess production/resource use that dominates and alters the local environment. So perhaps calling the remnants of our excess production waste is what the actual human concept is, and not necessarily creating the excess.

I recycle and I aim for a zero carbon footprint. I have added exterior insulation, interior insulation, roller shutters, awnings, rain water collection reservoirs and NON GMO heritage brand organic gardens. Every year I add something new. We can do this.

      @Susan Anderson wonderful work, its a great thing to have security of a home base that you can *build on* with changing how things are done. Those who don't have security, who are in the private rental market need a helping hand from the rest of us... such as rezoning regulations successfully used in Portland Oregon to create affordable, sustainable housing *in places where housing already exists*. Community led conversion of poorly functioning estates into high functioning social and garden-productive areas in their localities. THAT i find very inspiring. Because it won't be until *everyone* can access what is currently only available to the settled, and relatively affluent portion of our society - that things will really change. I like the Portland model of transformative local government, responsive to their communities call for doiing things a little differently to achieve a hugely changed and incredibly positive outcome for residents.

    'Do what the soft animal of our body loves!'
    I'm grateful to live in Oregon's green Willamette Valley, be able to garden and have access to a year round farmers Market.
    This year I moved to my a little house at my daughter's, and have begun new gardens. I also tend a raised bed tea garden, (square, about a meter across) as part of a 28 bed 'Edible Landscaping' project - in spring we give away over 3000 plant starts and in fall produce ... town residents can stroll the street and pick what's ripe.
    The project is a subset of Zeros Waste, which was begun by a fellow whose family heritage farm was next to the town dump. After returning to our community, he worked to find more sustainable solutions for Reducing, Reusing Recycling and composting.

    I firmly believe that individuals, families, neighborhoods are best off if we take responsibility for our basic food security. Grow, forage what will keep you fed. ‘Trade” for the extras - spices, sugar, flour- nice to have but you can live with out. There are obviously barriers, not the least of which is control of land by people who don’t need it for food….yet. I so much appreciate this discussion.

    Thank you so much for this documentary! I finally understand what is this missing part in my life. No matter what I did in my life, how hard I have worked, how much I have demanded from my body in sports, how many things I have purchased and then sold again. If you cannot connect with nature you will never be complete. What really opened my eyes was this phrase:
    "The reunion that we long for is unavailable to us.
    That is good for business because it drives consumerism, it drives acquisitiveness
    it drives greed, it drives all kinds of neurotic behaviours
    that seek to compensate for the missing relationships."

    I believe excess consumerism has a huge impact on climate change. Recycle and re-use of ALL material should be of upmost importance. Too many people purchase disposable items or uneccessary items that end up in landfill. Many want the latest or biggest item on the market whilst their used article is still functional and/or useful for example analog tv for a big screen Smart tv.

Use only what you can consume and leave the rest breathing, growing, living in the ground. There will be less waste and a better and healthier future for us.

    👍👍 Excellent work with this film 😀 I like how it is presented by the different views of our current reality. It does not say that this or that are the ultimate solutions to climate change or food economics or natural resources abuse. Instead it presents the viewers of a very promising possibility - what if each individual, on this only planet we've got, wakes up to the reality of our global crises and do our parts, big and small, in averting a humans-made disaster and at the same time bring ourselves closer back to Eden, the paradise God created in the very beginning? And all we have to give up in exchange are our greed, selfishness, arrogance and indifference. I wonder what the world would look like if land was equally distributed to each family, not as "property to own" but a sustaining treasure to steward, where they grow food for their own needs and the needs of their local community.

      check out Martjin Doolard's videos of finding and renovating an old abandoned farm in the Italian Alps. He does a lot on his own, but the bigger jobs he always finds helpers to come and stay with him. Its not a cash based transaction. These are young men who are interested in learning skills from Martin, so its a good exchange.

Just one thing though Greg Hart says that when the grass is eaten down by cows the roots also slough off however I’ve heard Elaine Ingham say that this is incorrect & actually the plant releases an increased amount of sugars to the soil, but the roots remain! Just wanted to clarify the accuracy of Greg’s statement - thanks!

      I’m not belittling you. I’m pointing out that you are brainwashed I don’t know propaganda when you see it. This is part of what they do the couch it in this wonderful sounding package but it’s clearly an attack on everything that has made the world good. Everything that has healed and educated and clothed and fed and created a higher standard of living and a longer life expectancy and everything else good that has happened over the last 200 years. It is thanks to capitalism and democracy. This is a direct assault on that.
      I’m not belittling you at all. I actually feel sad for people like you. I feel sad for the masses that are brainwashed by the Democrats and the main stream media. Because that’s what you are brainwashed. And I can give you the name of lots of high profile progressives that used to be brainwashed but now they have seen the light. People like Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald, John McWhorter, Brett Weinstein, Jimmy Dore, all people that you can see on CZcams that are some of the top black and progressive academics and thought leaders in America. So I don’t listen to me go listen to people from your side that are saying wake up you’re being brainwashed.
      The people in that video care more about the planet than they care about people. And I would love to sit down and watch that video with you and tell you how in every segment they lie and say things that it is factually untrue. For example the woman that talked about Preakness oil. She said if usage is stable and doesn’t go up exponentially you never reach peak oil. That’s just not true. If I have a bottle of liquor and I’m an alcoholic. And you have the same size bottle of liquor but you’re not an alcoholic. And you drank one glass of liquor every day but I drank five glasses of liquor every day. We’re both going to use and drink all of the liquor. I’m just gonna do it faster. She didn’t understand peak oil at all.
      So you’re being lied to. You’re being manipulated. But you don’t realize it. You don’t realize it because they do it in such a loving and gentle and kind way.

      I’m actually in the process of buying land and starting an off the grid self-sufficient Homestead that will also be an organic small farm selling produce and meat to the local community. I’m going to have a few families that don’t have the money but the skills and desire to live that type of lifestyle come and live on the land and help. I’m doing something about the problem. What are you doing? I’m taking my life and my future into my own hands not leaving it in the hands of incompetent greedy power-hungry manipulative lying authoritarian politicians. The politicians you vote for! You know why they aren’t more small farms do you know why there aren’t a lot of sustainable family farms the way they were 50 and 100 years ago? Big government. Government regulations. Regulations enacted by the people you people who in an on about this video voted into office. People to think the average person is too stupid to take care of themselves and they must be protected. The elites the oligarchs. They are the ones ruining the planet and ruining democracy and capitalism. Why do you think red states do so much better than blue states? Why do you think California, which 30 years ago was one of the greatest places in the world to live, is now a total disaster? Why do you think so many people are leaving New Jersey and New York and moving south? To get away from the bullshit. To get away from the people that are ruining everything for their own power. I’ve been around farming and agriculture my entire life. It’s people that live in big cities that are destroying the environment. It’s killing the small farms in the small ranchers and creating big ag corporate agriculture because of greedy corrupt politicians and crony capitalism. You need to go watch some videos on CZcams of Michael Shellenberger and Bjorn Lomborg and Joel Salatin. Go educate yourself!

    The question now is:
    What about the people who do not and cannot afford to own land to grow their food?
    In 3rd world and developing countries, the sad reality is most of the farm lands are owned by the rich, who stick to monocropping for profit or develop the land into industrial, commercial or residential use-profit. Even mountains, lakes, rivers and coastal areas are not spared by large corporations to gain profit from mining, logging, fish cage farming, hydropower and reclamation developments.
