So How Did We Get Into This Mess? - a 20 Minute Summary That Goes Back 10,000 Years

An excerpt from What A Way To Go: Life At The End Of Empire (Part 3: The Locomotive Power). 

Featuring interviews with Daniel Quinn, Derrick Jensen, Jerry Mander, Chellis Glendinning, Richard Heinberg, Thomas Berry, William Catton, Ran Prieur and Richard Manning.

What is it doing to us as thoughtful human beings as we face the overwhelming challenges of:
-Peaking fossil fuel flow rates?
-Critically degraded ecosystems?
-A changing climate?
-An exploding global population?
-Teetering global economies?
-An unstable political climate?
And what is it doing to the rest of the life on this planet?

What a Way to Go looks at the current global situation and asks the most important questions of all:
-How did we get here?
-Why do we keep destroying the planet?
-What do we truly want?
-Can we find a vision that will empower us to do what is necessary to survive, and even thrive, in the coming decades?

"What a Way to Go is the advanced course for those who are intellectually and emotionally prepared to examine critically our way of life - the viewer takes away ideas, even subversive ones.", -A comparison with The 11th Hour by Keith Thomas at the Nature and Society Forum
