Film Director Damon Gameau Sees Hopeful Future in '2040: The Regeneration'

Late last week, after downing half a bottle of wine on a Zoom call with friends, I checked email and found a surprise message from a publicist: Damon Gameau, the director of “2040: The Regeneration,” could talk to me in the next hour. It was 9 p.m. on a Thursday night; as he lives in Australia, it was 1 p.m. his time. I hesitated for only a moment before rebooting Zoom. And I have to say that I was so glad I talked to this dynamic, passionate thinker, who infused my evening with hope for the future . . . and no, it wasn't just the wine talking. You need to see this film.

Treading Toward Equity: A Conversation with Ana Garcia Doyle

"Those who have fewer resources often take the brunt of environmental degradation and pollution, but their voices and faces are now being heard and understood and seen. At long last, people are recognizing that the crucial focus of our environmental movement cannot be LED bulbs and recycling but breathable air and drinkable water. What we say about the environment must be placed in a context of justice, of anti-racism. The environmental movement in its best and broadest sense is about justice."

For the past several years, One Earth Film Festival has displayed the Atmospheric CO2 Level on our website home page. In Coronavirus terms, this number should be as familiar to us as the number of COVID deaths in our state.

The gold standard for global CO2 measurements is the Keeling Curve, named for the man who developed it.
