Fwd: Unlimited - A film about renewable energy

[Carlos Rymer]

Friends,

 

Here's info about a 26-minute documentary on renewable energy that my son has recently completed. It's very good; you can view it at the web link below.

 

I hope people will consider ordering copies of this to use.

“To defuse the global warming time bomb, we must phase out coal use rapidly and find alternatives to other fossil fuels. Unlimited provides a great introduction to the clean energy sources we need.” - James Hansen, Climate Scientist, NASA

Hello,

My name is Daniel Califf-Glick. I am one of the directors of Unlimited: Renewable Energy in the 21st Century. It is a 26 minute documentary about renewable energy and other alternatives to fossil fuels.

I am contacting you because I think the film might be of interest to your group. We (OneLight OneCamera Productions) made this film as a passion project with the goal of providing an introduction to the major solutions to global warming. It is ideal for middle and high schools (4^th graders and up), but is appropriate for all ages. It is an excellent resource to spark awareness and a conversation about what energy sources we need to move towards.

It features a group of passionate 6^th graders calling for adults to take action and address global warming. It also includes global warming and energy experts talking about various promising technologies such as solar, wind and tidal power, transportation and the issue of food as it pertains to energy consumption.

The film was just recently completed and we are now starting our campaign to distribute it as widely as possible. In a time when the seriousness of the threat of global warming has just begun to enter the public's awareness our aim with Unlimited is to educate about the solutions to global warming and help move this country forward on the issue of renewable energy. We hope to have the film shown in classrooms, communities, churches and more.

You can watch the entire film at www.onelightonecamera.com

If you are interested in ordering DVDs, with or without accompanying lesson plans for classroom situations, you can make a donation of $10 per DVD (or $12 for a DVD plus lesson plans) to “IH Center/Unlimited”. All donations are tax deductable.

We are currently in the process of setting up an online payment system on our website which should be active within a week. If you email us your interest in the meanwhile, we’ll notify you once it is up and running.

We are looking forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy the film!

Sincerely,
Daniel Califf-Glick
Co-Director, Unlimited: Renewable Energy in the 21^st Century

More praise for Unlimited:

“As the planet cries out for protection against the assault from our burning of coal and oil, this vibrant film shows that the greatest source of planetary renewal – and of our own human hope – is the renewable energy of our kids.” – Ross Gelbspan, author, “The Heat is On” and “Boiling Point”

“Here’s a message coming from the people who are going to deal with this tragedy the longest, unless we get our acts together now. It will move you to action!” – Bill McKibben, 350.org

“A fun and thoughtful film to spark one of the most important conversations that students, and all of us, need to have: how clean, renewable energy can replace fossil fuels as the energy source that powers our society.” – Jared Duval, former National Director, Sierra Student Coalition
