This initiates a chain of destruction that can include more logging, mining, slash-and-burn clearing for cattle grazing and conversion for chemical-intensive industrial agriculture. Most of the resultant products are exported to northern industrialized countries.]]> http://susty.com/tropical-deforestation-basics-problem-solution-get-your-fix-environment-eco-friendly-green-design/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/ http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/#comments Wed, 22 Jul 2009 03:09:52 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7184 Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It. While Stewart sees the realities of our water sitch as a bit of a revelation, Glennon points out what many have known for a while: all of the water used in our homes is potable, but only ten percent is used for drinking and cooking. Just take a guess where the rest of it goes...]]> http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/the-cove-trailer-documentary-feature-doc-dolphins-japan-environment-protect-species-concervation-seafood-video/ http://susty.com/the-cove-trailer-documentary-feature-doc-dolphins-japan-environment-protect-species-concervation-seafood-video/#comments Sat, 04 Jul 2009 01:56:52 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7600 http://susty.com/the-cove-trailer-documentary-feature-doc-dolphins-japan-environment-protect-species-concervation-seafood-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/ http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/#comments Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:31:48 +0000 by Michele LaTorre, Long Beach, NY USA http://susty.com/?p=7352 our production company Big City Pictures put together the first in a series of videos interviewing the grandson of Jacques Cousteau, Fabien Cousteau which I had the pleasure of editing. The occasion was a recent screening of the film Sea Ghosts which uses the Beluga whales as the "canary in the coal mine" to conveying the environmental consequences that await we humans. Ironically Sea Ghosts was on the same night that the Star Trek movie rebooted its space opera franchise, so we asked Fabien to comment on the disproportionate amount of research dollars being apportioned to space exploration over Earth's oceans. He also touches on some basic concepts for how our everyday actions wind up contributing to the pollution of our oceans and how that comes back to haunt us on our dinner plates. ]]> http://susty.com/fabien-cousteau-ocean-exploration-industry-pollution-toxic-chemicals-beluga-whale-consumer-pbs-video/feed/ 4 http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/ http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/#comments Wed, 03 Jun 2009 05:56:18 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6582 Earth From Above) epic film Home held today at the Florence Gould Theater in mid-town Manhattan, we chatted with Conservation International's Head of Marketing and Public Relations Laura Bowling.]]> http://susty.com/conservation-international-screening-movie-home-yann-arthus-bertrand-laura-bowling-ci-nyc-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/ http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/#comments Tue, 19 May 2009 01:31:19 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6532 http://susty.com/ray-anderson-on-the-business-logic-of-sustainability-ted-talks-video/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/ http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/#comments Mon, 16 Feb 2009 18:52:58 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=4010 http://susty.com/french-and-british-nuclear-submarines-collided-earlier-this-month/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/get-em-outside-no-child-left-inside-coalition-campaign-video/ http://susty.com/get-em-outside-no-child-left-inside-coalition-campaign-video/#comments Thu, 26 Jun 2008 05:56:21 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=1518 Get kids outside, get them to love the food chain -- that's but one of the ideas behind environmental education programs for kids expressed in this fine video from the folks at No Child Left Inside Coalition & Campaign. Nicely photographed and assembled, the video gives good sounds bites with information about what kids are learning in the great outdoors as well as showing candid shots of young people experiencing and connecting with nature. These moments that let you see children taking perhaps some of their first steps toward forging a lifelong relationship, or dare we say it romance, with nature are fun, touching and thrilling. As visual mediamakers, we can tell you that bits like this are not easy to fake.]]> http://susty.com/get-em-outside-no-child-left-inside-coalition-campaign-video/feed/ 1 http://susty.com/kidsummer-kid-summer-environmental-learning-fun-cape-cod/ http://susty.com/kidsummer-kid-summer-environmental-learning-fun-cape-cod/#comments Thu, 15 May 2008 14:08:46 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=2041 http://susty.com/kidsummer-kid-summer-environmental-learning-fun-cape-cod/feed/ 0 http://susty.com/ben-harper-surfing-clean-oceans-green-deets-018-collin-dunn-treehugger/ http://susty.com/ben-harper-surfing-clean-oceans-green-deets-018-collin-dunn-treehugger/#comments Mon, 05 May 2008 13:30:46 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=658 http://susty.com/ben-harper-surfing-clean-oceans-green-deets-018-collin-dunn-treehugger/feed/ 3
