The best thing about this documentary is that it doesn't just tell us we have a problem--it provides real examples of solutions. After watching this film my family made some immediate changes and we are looking into more significant changes in the future.

The first time I saw this film, I was blown away at the consequences of our current energy supply...in particular the mountaintop removal coal mining. And I immediately went home and changed every lightbulb in my house to a compact flourescent. One segment of the film shows over 400 mountains that have been victim of mountaintop removal. 400 doesn't sound like a lot, but when you see the flags designating mountains that no longer exist on the map, it really hits home. The BEST thing about this film, is that it focuses mainly on the SOLUTION...things that people are already doing to save energy and money. The DVD also includes a short feature film, Jeff and Heather's Energy Tips, that shows low cost things you can do right in your own home, that can result in savings up to $1000 per year. This is a great film to own on DVD to watch again and again and share with family and friends.

This DVD has more impact than thousands of words and has the ability to turn energy-groupies into individuals changing specific actions and habits to make a difference in energy consumption, energy costs, and energy impact on themselves and communities throughout the world. NIMBY's - take notice. This IS in your back yard.
