Do you remember the Story of Stuff, which we screened at Rhodes University about 2 years ago? Annie Leonard has just reased a brand new short film, "The Story of Cap & Trade" - at http://storyofstuff.com/capandtrade/
If you've heard about cap and trade, but aren't sure how it works (or who benefits), this short online video is worth a look! The Story of Cap & Trade is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution being discussed at Copenhagen and on Capitol Hill. Host Annie Leonard introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of this scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap and trade proposals: free permits to big polluters, fake offsets and distraction from what's really required to tackle the climate crisis.
Over the coming year, other films like The Story of Cap & Trade will be released, highlighting some of the most important sustainability and justice issues of our day.
