Description of Growthbusters Project- Brief GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth is a feature-length documentary examining the beliefs and behaviors preventing us from becoming a sustainable civilization. It’s the first in a series of films planned by the non-profit GrowthBusters public education project. The film is available for purchase now, and will hold its world premiere in Washington DC on November 2.
Description of Growthbusters Project- Long GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth is a documentary film that asks the most critical question of our time: How do we become a sustainable civilization?
It takes a unique approach among modern environmental documentaries: Rather than dispensing facts about climate change; peak energy, food and water; and bio-diversity loss, it examines the cultural barriers that prevent us from acting rationally. It asks why population conversations are so difficult to have, and why a roaring economy is more important to us than a survivable planet. It explores our obsession with community growth and economic growth. GrowthBusters holds up a mirror, encouraging us to examine the beliefs and behaviors we must leave behind, and the values we need to embrace, in order that our children can survive and thrive.
Medium-Length Story If you found a project that addressed the root cause of the world’s most urgent issues (peak energy, peak food, peak water, climate change, bio diversity loss), would you help make it happen?
Well, I’ve discovered such a project: GrowthBusters: Hooked on Growth, a non-profit documentary examining our society’s worship of growth everlasting. It explores the biggest issue or our time: What are the addictions and myths we must leave behind, and what are the values we need to embrace, in order to become a sustainable civilization?
We’ve all seen great documentaries over the past few years. GrowthBusters takes the next step, and does it in an entertaining, provocative way. It’s a pull-no-punches look in the mirror that will attract mainstream attention in a way few of those films have.
