    Even at $800, renting the film might be worth it. Here in small town
    Nova Scotia we rented it for one showing (last week). We had to add
    three extra shows. The first three shows were all sold-out, the last
    showing was almost full. There is a lot of buzz around this film that
    is worth leveraging.

    Cheers,
    Edith

    Mike,

    I am arranging a showing on campus here at Michigan. You can contact
    Paramount to do this at a cost of about $800.

    Does anyone know if (and how) one can obtain Al Gore's "An Inconvenient
    Truth" for classroom/educational (or personal) use? I've heard that for
    the immediate future, it's only in theatrical release, but I'm hoping
    someone might have other insights.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    I just ordered the video 'Ecological Design: Inventing the Future'. I
    don't
    have a review based on full viewing yet. But it looks quite good -

    One video that I have used and think is great is The Next Industrial
    Revolution, which focuses on the green design area, especially the work
    of
    William McDonough and his associates. Several excellent examples are
    given.

    Another that I haven't seen but have put in a request to preview is The
    Ecological Footprint: Accounting for a Small Planet, focusing on the
    concept

    of the same name developed by Wackernagel. Has anyone seen this one?
