  • America Recycled Discussion Guide
    www.influencefilmclub.com America Recycled Discussion Guide Directors: Noah Hussin, Tim Hussin Year: 2015 Time: 97 min You might know this director from: This is the first feature-length film from this directorial team. FILM SUMMARY Brothers Noah and Tim Hussin were provided with a life of comfort. Raised in a suburban setting in Florida where their needs were met and the stores supplied everything their hungry bellies desired, they arrived at the doorstep of adulthood feeling that there was something greater out there than store-bought conveniences and picket fences. Having gone their separate ways living abroad, they reconvened on home ground and agreed to hit the open road to figure out just what was left of the American Dream they had been raised to believe in. Tim directed the camera at the passing sights as the brothers’ bicycle tires tread southern roads, with Noah reflecting, “We aren’t the first to do this. We’re just chasing the great dream through our own eyes, riding the shoulders of those who paved the asphalt before us.” Bicycling 5,000 miles across the Southern states over a period of two years may not be the most common event, but road-tripping across America sure is. And while their actions may not be entirely new, those they meet—the homesteaders, the squatters, the anarchists and artists, the dumpster divers and roadkill eaters—offer a picture of an alternative America that is not often highlighted by the mainstream. While AMERICA RECYCLED travels across a variety of concepts—including food production, consumption, land development, community and family—it is through the people the brothers encounter that the overriding theme of self-discovery presents itself.

  • A Return to Individual Virtue in Order to Overcome the Corruption of Climate Change
    Reconsidering Virtue in the Anthropocene Reconsidering Virtue in the Anthropocene: A return to individual virtue in order to overcome the corruption of climate change. A thesis presented to the faculty of Humanities of Utrecht University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Philosophy in Applied Ethics Jonathon A. Kahler #6760120 Supervisor: Dr. Naomi van Steenbergen Secondary Reader: Dr. Matthias Kramm June 2021 1 Reconsidering Virtue in the Anthropocene Summary KAHLER, JONATHON, M.A. of Philosophy in Applied ethics, June 2021 Reconsidering Virtue in the Anthropocene In this paper I explore the role of individual virtue within the Anthropocene. Authors like Stephen Gardiner and Dale Jamieson appeal to a return to individual character in order to overcome the moral corruption of climate change. In response, virtue ethicists have proposed new virtues that promote the flourishing of humanity at a global scale. However, these “species virtues” have diminished individual flourishing and agency in the process. By incorporating these species virtues into what it means to flourish as an individual, we may return to individual character as a way to flourish in the Anthropocene. I aim to illustrate how a return to individual flourishing, and the corresponding virtues is not only suitable for coping with climate change, but also motivates us to overcome the challenges of the Anthropocene. Returning to individual character grants us access to public virtues and the ethical tools of role models. In doing so, these role models may motivate us to act more virtuously. When paired with public virtues, we may be able to build the necessary institutions to overcome the moral corruption of climate change.

  • Annual Report “We Are Focused on Building a Global Movement That Drives Positive Change for Our Planet by Accelerating Smart Environmental Giving.”
    2017 Annual Report “We are focused on building a global movement that drives positive change for our planet by accelerating smart environmental giving.” —Kate Williams, CEO and Brant Barton, Board Chair 2 Dear Friends, 2017 was a big, extreme year at so many levels - political, social, cultural, economic, and, not least, environmental. One accurate telling of this past year celebrates its lasting opportunities in the form of private sector engagement and activism, with courageous citizens choosing to translate their care and sense of responsibility for each other and our planet into meaningful action. Another telling, of course, would feature its many challenging and frustrating aspects. We choose the former telling - this is the narrative that is true for 1% for the Planet: Our global network grew in size and activity across 2017, with both businesses and individuals joining the movement and creating robust partnerships with environmental nonprofits. Our diverse network demonstrated that when government steps back, when crises hit, we can always choose to take responsibility for creating positive change. We are focused on building a global movement that drives positive change for our planet by accelerating smart environmental giving. We are thrilled to share the following report in which we feature key metrics of success as well as partnership stories that illustrate our achievements and impact in 2017. As a diverse and truly global network, it’s impossible for us to capture the myriad amazing highlights across a 12-month period. Please consider this annual report a snapshot that we hope will help you to see the bigger picture.

  • Waste Wikipedia Waste Or Wastes Are Unwanted Or Unusable Materials
    Waste wikipedia Waste or wastes are unwanted or unusable materials. Waste is any substance which is discarded after primary use, or is worthless, defective and of no use. It may be no longer useful as it has served its purpose, and at the end of the process have no further use, and it is generally discarded. It is unwanted materials and objects that people have thrown away. It is often also called trash , garbage , rubbish , or junk. It can be solid , liquid , or gas , or it can be waste heat. There are many different kinds of waste. Garbage is the waste we produce daily in our homes, including old or unwanted food, chemical substances, paper, broken furniture, used containers, and other things. When waste is a liquid or gas, it can be called an emission. This is usually pollution. Sanitation is proper handling of human waste. Waste can also be something abstract something that you cannot touch , for example "a waste of time" or "wasted opportunities". When people use the words waste or wasted in this way, they are saying directly or indirectly that something has been used badly using too much of it or using it incorrectly. People have thrown away waste in heaps for thousands of years. In modern homes and businesses , garbage is normally placed in waste containers of some sort. It is then moved to the street, where it can be collected and taken to a place designed to hold, destroy or recycle garbage. Some waste materials, such as paper , wood , glass , metals , and plastic containers , can be recycled reused.

  • Zero-Waste Bloggers: the Millennials Who Can Fit a Year’S Worth of Trash in a Jar by Leilani Clark, the Guardian, Apr
    Zero-Waste Bloggers: The Millennials Who Can Fit a Year’s Worth of Trash in a Jar By Leilani Clark, The Guardian, Apr. 22, 2018 Kathryn Kellogg, a 25-year-old print shop employee, spends four hours a day on her lifestyle blog Going Zero Waste. She posts on Instagram, engag- es with Facebook followers, and writes about homemade eyeliner and lip balm, worm composting, and shopping bulk bins – anything to avoid unnec- essary waste. Her trash for the past year – anything that hasn’t been com- posted or recycled – fits in an 8oz jar. Kellogg is earnest, enthusiastic, and admittedly still figuring out what it means to be zero waste. The aspiring actor has also weathered her fair share of criticism. “I’m not even that big yet and I get so much hate mail,” says Kellogg, who draws 10,000 unique page views a month and has 800 subscribers. Photo: Andrew Burton Since the launch of Going Zero Waste in March 2015, she’s been criticized on social media and in pri- vate messages for driving and flying, for not installing a grey-water system, and, no joke, for using toilet paper (she does have a bidet, by the way). She’s been chastised by vegans for eating eggs, and one visiting relative walked around Kellogg’s house pointing out anything made of plastic. She’s also been called out as overly privileged, even though she lives in a modest two-bedroom house in Vallejo, a blue-collar city 32 miles north-east of San Francisco. “They just nitpick every little thing because zero waste sounds like such an ultimatum,” Kellogg says.
