Eco-cine: The Story of Stuff, Electronics, Cosmetics, and much MORE!

imagen de organizacion verde

Fecha del Evento: Martes, 18 de Septiembre de 2012
Hora del Evento: 10:30 a.m.

Campus Verde, the General Library, and Filmoteca of UPRM are proud to announce a new series of films that students can see every Tuesday at 10:30 am. The idea is for you to be able to “become informed while relaxing.” (Please note that Campus Verde is not responsible for the content of each movie and it is not our desire for you to believe that the film necessarily represents UPRM Campus Verde’s goals and ideals.)

Watch Trailer : http://www.storyofstuff.com/ 

Movie RATING:  http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/climate-solutions/in-review-the-story-of-stuff

Desscription: documentary that investigates what's behind the products we use every day. Did you know that the water needed to produce an ipad or a laptop is the same used by 70 loads on a washing machine!  Did you know that many shampoos and higine products contain known carcinogenic ingredients! You'll be amazed.

We have selected the series from films which will provide you with INFORMATION for living harmoniously with the planet. However, we cannot control the content of all of the films and we are not trying to be activists; rather we think that you can be part of the solution with everyone becoming aware of the present and planning for the future. Thus, we would want to work within the political system to educate, not alienate. We can make a difference with one individual, within one home, within one community; it does make a difference. Let’s try to make the as many drastic changes during the next 100 years as we made during the last 100 years, but in a more rational and sustainable mode.

Please note that if you miss seeing this film through the Campus Verde Eco-Cine, you can see it on your own by visiting the audiovisual center located in the right, back corner of the General Library. Mr. Eric Muñiz is the coordinator for the Audiovisual section, which will maintain a collection of most of the Eco-Cine films.

Please also make suggestions to CampusVerde@uprm.edu for future titles or other suggestions. Also let us know your ideas for Campus Verde to present “streaming” videos which you could watch on your computer by logging in through the UPRM portal.

Relevo de responsabilidad:

Disclaimer: We hope that you will learn from each film, but we also encourage you to seek out a balanced source of information. For instance, many of the films are NOT balanced; some in fact may be inflammatory. So use your discretion and note when exaggerated strong negative adjectives or phrases are used in the films to promote fear, such usages as “disaster”,  “slaughterers”, “baby killers”, “dumb”, ”stupid”, ”tragedy”, ”catastrophe”, or “we are making a terrible mistake in our policies”. While you may agree with some of the negative language, most documented films with reliable sources use MODERATED adjectives. Also, most trustworthy films suggest information and solutions on how the human species can deal with our current and future problems, such as running out of resources and destroying valuable habitat.

Our policy is to use the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) whenever possible. IMDB uses ratings generated from citizens around the world. If you wish, you can register at IMDB and cast your vote. To help with your scheduling, we also will try to post the runtime for each film, and to provide you with some additional information (year, tagline/plot
