Environment Awareness: The Story of Cap and Trade

Follow us at: http://www.trendguardian.com/
What is the solution to stop carbon emissions and global warming? In Copenhagen Climate Conference 2009, leaders around the world gathered to find out a solution. What they came up was the Cap and Trade, a carbon emissions trading system to control polluters. It seems like a great solution until you consider that this was created by the same people that caused the dot com and recent mortages bubble crises. How does this agreement work? The devil is on the details.
This is the third video after Consumer Awareness: The Story of Bottled Water and Consumerism: The Story of Stuff

Annie Leonard is a proponent of sustainability and critic of excessive consumerism. The Story of Stuff Project was created by Annie Leonard to leverage and extend the film's impact and amplify public discourse on a series of environmental, social and economic concerns to build a more sustainable and just world.

@TheAceForce It's not a waste of time to criticize something that is taught in our schools as her videos are.

@2411Hellokitty She tells us that the future of the planet is at stake. I do not agree with this since the planet has been absolutely fine without us for the billions of years we did not exist on it. However, I understand that she is attempting to target a large audience which most probably includes children, which is why there is some fail logic. If you were to read a children's book and criticize it, would that not be an utter waste of time? Same applies to this video.

Wait, wait, wait. You mean to tell me that our government doesn't know how to come up with good solutions? But I thought you said that they were going to fix everything? You are just one contradiction after another.

Today I will take video of storm runoff from built areas polluting our waterways. The state is doing nothing to prevent this. Coming soon to YouTube and my website geo-life.org a new exposé on pollution killing wildlife in our area SE Pennsylvania
