Simply put, this acclaimed documentary is the best case study of environmental injustice and racism available on video. In the economically depressed, largely African-American "West End" of Chester, Pennsylvania, Zulene Mayfield lives next door to the fourth-largest trash-to-steam incinerator in the nation and a few doors away from a large processing facility for infectious and hazardous medical waste. The county's sewage treatment plant sits adjacent to her neighbors' homes a block away, and additional waste-processing facilities have been proposed for the community. Daily, trucks from Pennsylvania, Delaware, and as far away as Virginia roll past homes on Chester's Second Street, delivering thousands of tons of waste. Residents believe that their lives are being disrupted, their health threatened, their community destroyed, and the very air they breathe dangerously polluted. A grassroots organization called Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living (CRCQL) has taken an active role in opposing the facilities and in publicizing the plants' impact on their community. Representatives of the waste-processing companies argue that their facilities are safe and that they bring much-needed jobs to Chester. "Laid to Waste" documents a community's attempt to deal with the complex issues of environmental injustice. The story unfolds dramatically as the residents seek to discover and confront the forces that have chosen their community for such facilities. Though CRCQL receives threats and its office is vandalized, the group continues to protest and to challenge the waste industry. Ultimately, a controversy surrounding an obscure legal maneuver used by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court draws statewide attention to the situation, and brings the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee to Chester's West End to investigate allegations of corruption and collusion at the highest levels of government and the waste industry."Laid to Waste" is a must-see in any course dealing with environmental issues, urban studies, public policy, African American studies, sociology, or social problems. It was produced by Robert Bahar and George McCollough.

Nature Inc., Gigatonne Timebomb
directed by Ashley Bruce; produced by Bernard Robert-Charrue, in Nature Inc. (Quebec (Province): CinéFête), 22 mins
Under the 1987 Montreal Protocol, the manufacture of CFCs - used in fridges and aerosols - was ended in 2010. But in this programme we find that some of the ozone-friendly replacements to CFCs are in fact super greenhouse gases.
By 2050, up to a fifth of the greenhouse effect could be caused by these substitute ga...

By 2050, up to a fifth of the greenhouse effect could be caused by these substitute gases. There are alternatives that are ozone and climate friendly. So could the Montreal Protocol be used to control a huge chunk of the projected greenhouse gas build up?

For his very first European Council as President in December 2019, ambitious Charles Michel wants to hit hard. He suggests that the Twenty-Seven commit to make Europe the first climate-neutral continent on the planet by 2050. The vast majority of the Member States are willing to back it. But Poland, 80% dependent on coal, is blocking and demanding significant financial assistance. Going capital to capital to convince everyone and after a seduction operation in Warsaw to prepare for the negotiations, the President of the European Council feels confident for his first big test. But nothing will go as planned ... Although he looks shy, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will prove to be a formidable negotiator. We will learn how life taught him to be tough and not intimated by threats...

Why Do We Need Global Animal Law?
(Germany: Latest Thinking, 2018), 11 mins
There is no global regulation, let alone any hard-law treaties, that deal with the interactions between humans and animals even though these have been globalized in many areas, such as for food, agriculture, or the procurement of pets. This is why ANNE PETERS has initiated a research program on Global Legal Animal...

There is no global regulation, let alone any hard-law treaties, that deal with the interactions between humans and animals even though these have been globalized in many areas, such as for food, agriculture, or the procurement of pets. This is why ANNE PETERS has initiated a research program on Global Legal Animal Studies as she explains in this video. Analyzing international law and comparing domestic laws, she has established trends and found bits and pieces in some legal issue areas that may amount to a body of global animal law. She hopes that these results provide a source of inspiration and argumentation for lawmakers worldwide to develop global animal law further.
