The (Sad) Story of Cap and Trade

Annie Leonard has done it again. The lead figure of the incredibly well done and successful "Story of Stuff" again tries to communicate in a comprehensive and easy-to-follow way why cap and trade, the global system to limit and market carbon emissions, just will not work.

Admirably, Annie in her video also points to one of the most urgent issues I too have with the system: while desperately adapting our visions to our economic system we are trashing the planet and sacrifice our own free will. Because we believe that what can be done is determined by capitalism or political motivations we try to design a system that is fundamentally flawed lets us do what we love to do: continue shopping.

Thanks Annie!
