Its just that alleged sustainability has now become inextricably linked with eco-fascism and works on an agenda which increases the power of the corporates ( excuse to inflate oil prices ) and fails to even consider options which could significantly reduce our impact on the environment without plunging everyone back into the stone age. Save the planet for the elites whilst locking the low income population into ghetto's to be frozen and starved to death, the evidence to support me is out there

That's an interesting comment! Surprising really, considering that catalyst brings together young people from diverse backgrounds intentionally, including people who would be labeled as disadvantaged in our society. But I can see that the film does not show this. Anyway, would be interesting to hear what your thoughts behind the comment were? As a start to an interesting discussion...
