ENERGY - crude awakenings - extractive energy sources versus regenerative energy practices -- Waste... means ... money... and suffocating the Earth - the human practice of pollution -- Bad-husbandry versus earth-as-provender, a tale of two cultures : agribusiness' monocultural-monopolies and agroecology's pluriculturalism -- The effects of disrupted ecosystems, the migratory flow and the unsafe, inhumane space of the unheard. The first two decades of the new millennium witnessed an increase in commercially released ecology documentaries - as if in response to the growing concerns about the Anthropogenic global warming and its impact on the Earth. Using Kate Raworth's regenerative economic theoretical model as set out in Doughnut Economics, this book examines some 57 films emanating from Europe and the four areas of concern they raise about energy-production, pollution and waste-management, agribusiness, disrupted ecosystems and the migratory flow. These ecology documentaries make explicit the damage done to our planet thanks to growth capitalism and neoliberal globalisation. But they also provide the evidence that solutions to this planetary abuse exist. They detail our reliance on fossil fuels and the nuclear rather than on renewables as our source of energy, our dependence on chemical agents to increase food production rather than the pursuance of agroecological systems, our practice of over-consumption and packaging rather than the adoption of recycling and re-using. Raworth's model allows us to measure the tentacular extent of the planetary harm growth economics induces and, too, by way of contrast, perceive how regenerative economics can work to redress this harm, heal the Earth and make it a safe place for humanity.-- Provided by publisher.
