Up The Yangtze

Yung Chang 2008

 

Highly acclaimed new documentary about the Three Gorges Dam project in China, which has caused unprecidented environmental and cultural damage to the region. Since its completion, land slides and erosion around the dam threaten 2 million more people with relocation and the damage continues to mount.

Environmental Tips........../..............•••

Cut down on junk food
Reduce garbage, lose weight
Dont use pre-packaged, processed food any more than you have to. We are all used to fast food, 7-11 and the munchies. Breaking bad eating patterns can be hard. But your gonna give up all the dorritos& big macs one day either way—by choice or by death.Best start now with a bit of moderation that will help you slowly break some of the bad habits most of us have developed, and save tons of paper and plastic packaging at the same time...

 

Unplug Unused Appliances

They use electricity even when turned off

All your plugged-in appliances seep energy from your power grid and cost you a few pennies a day, which slowly adds up to a fair savings for you and a massive savings for the environment if everyone does it—especially things like washing machines, toasters and other items you dont use every day...

 

Turn Out The Lights!
Or the party really will be over soon
Turn off the TV, computer & stereo while you're at it. What do people think electrical lights & appliances run on anyway—hay?

You dont need all that light anyway. You're just used to it. But if you turn off all lights and appliances when you dont really need them, I guarantee you're power bill will reflect the difference...
