Nice job. Would have been nice to see clips of the films. The greater concern on bottle water (per my understanding) is the amout of fossil fuels consumed in transporting bottled water. Water weighs 8.33 lbs per gallon. Obviously drinking filtered water from the tap that is brought to us via pipes is much more "eco friendly" bringing it to us on trucks. New tap filters give you amazingly clean water at a lower cost than bottled water.
We hear from festival CEO/Artistic Director Michael Cain and three film makers in this clip. The festival partnered with Current Energy to fund the competion's $10,000 prize. The films offer education on the environment and our place in it. How what we consume affects the environment. They show the caused by the exploitation of water, coal and other resources. The information in these films will change your perspective and make you think as you consume... These documentaries show how we're destroying our environment...and how we can make it better. Four films were in the competition. The prize went to "Field of Fuel" by Josh Tickell. "Fields of Fuel" offers a hope filled plan on how to change US oil use and an insightful look at the oil industry. Other films in the competition were: "Burning the Future: Coal in America", by David Novack. "Flow: For Love of Water" by Irena Salina "Up the Yangtze" by Yung Chang
