Quick and breezy recap of the population issue above. Below, Richard Cizek ponders the implications of population and climate change for an Evangelical Christian. Who could have predicted that access to family planning services would become “Topic A” in the race to the White House? Or that a “war on women” would ignite based on contraceptive coverage provided under the health care law approved by Congress and President Obama? Almost anything can happen in an election year.

The Story of Bottled Water (video) - Les Humains Associés Pasteboard
The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all. Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute.
