300 Years of FOSSIL FUELS in 300 Seconds
This is a youtube informational video presented by the Post Carbon Institute from 2010 exploring the last three hundred years of fossil fuel use by humans in a five and a half minute long video. The sped up footage of an artist drawing cartoons is stimulating and fast-paced. The speaker uses common language and basic world history to explain how we as a civilization have come to depend on fossil fuels.
I think this is an exemplary case of communicating large and complex environmental issues to the general public and inciting action.
According to their website, the Post Carbon Institute is an organization that "provides individuals, communities, businesses, and governments with the resources needed to understand and respond to the interrelated economic, energy, environmental, and equity crises that define the 21st century. We envision a world of resilient communities and re-localized economies that thrive within ecological bounds." Their goals are to: build awareness and understanding; foster collaboration; integrate knowledge; and inspire action.
