Story of Cap and Trade

From the makers of The Story of Stuff [1] comes a new film that upacks the story of Cap & Trade:

The Story of Cap & Trade [2] from Story of Stuff Project [3] on Vimeo [4].

The Story of Cap & Trade is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution being discussed at Copenhagen and on Capitol Hill. Host Annie Leonard introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of this scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap and trade proposals: free permits to big polluters, fake offsets and distraction from what’s really required to tackle the climate crisis. If you’ve heard about cap and trade, but aren’t sure how it works (or who benefits), this is the film is for you.

In early 2010, a new film called the Story of Bottled Water [6] will be released as part of the Story of Stuff Project . The Polaris Institute has been working as a production partner on the film.
