A pollution problem of major proportion is now surfacing in the "black triangle" where Poland, Czechoslovakia and Germany meet. Eastern Germany has Europe's biggest concentration of uranium mines outlined by slag heaps which loom over the local towns. In northern Czechoslovakia vast open coal mines stretch as far as the eye can see. Power stations emit thick sulphurous smoke, defoliating the forests. The toll on the health of people in the neighboring towns is staggering. One in ten children is born with a birth defect. Although people are now able to express their opposition to dangerous practices, there are no easy solutions to meeting energy needs while safeguarding the environment. College Adult

As more and more of us use and replace electronic devices, manufacturers have failed to offer solutions for how to deal with the resulting waste, and much of it is exported to a toxic dump in Ghana where scavengers do their best to salvage what they can. Blame Game investigates the murky world of global electronic waste disposal, where legal grey areas, a lack of investment in recycling, unscrupulous businesses and politicised application of the existing laws lead to wasted opportunities, environmental degradation and for the people of Agbogbloshie - hellish living conditions in a toxic dumping ground. Taking us deep inside this hidden world we meet those who suffer from our addiction to new devices, work in hazardous conditions and are prone to cancers and other illnesses from an early age. But without the dump, thousands would be without jobs, tonnes of e-waste would not be recycled and Ghanaians would miss out on life-altering technology. A global web of policymakers and businesses are out of synch, each blaming the other and in the resulting chaos and passing of responsibility, tremendous opportunities are being missed. Beautifully shot and taking a global perspective, Blame Game explores the challenges but also the possible solutions - some very simple - that could reduce waste, take advantage of an impressive skill set, alleviate poverty and help our environment.

At the very end of 2012, the second part of Kyoto Protocol expired. All the countries that ratifed the protocol have guaranteed that they will cut down on their carbon emissions and curb the greenhouse gasses.The question is: How did they do that? One of the solutions has been to buy and sell carbon credits. If e.g. a rich country in the developed world has problems in reaching the goal set in the Kyoto Protocol, they can buy Carbon Credits in the poor countries. Hocus-pocus and the arithmetic fits.

Most people want the conveniences of modern life - the cell phones, computers, and perfect-looking food. But it seems we are paying a high price: being poisoned by chemicals. This excellent film contains many alarming facts and stories about the man-made chemicals we injest in our food and water. Children are the most affected -- damaged physically and mentally by the fish their mothers ate during pregnancy, by eating too much fish or meat themselves, or by drinking water drawn too close to waste dumps. Chemical Kids takes us around the world, following the trail of the chemistry we have unleashed. It tracks down the researchers who are studying the effects of the millions of tons of chemicals we use. Industry is allowed to use 100,000 synthetic chemicals but we know little about 86,000 of them. The researchers are very behind in their work. In Winona, Texas a chemical plant grew into a hazardous waste powerhouse handling extremely hazardous substances. Despite promises by the plant owners, wastes leaked into the water supply. Experts could not outlaw the chemicals since it would have taken too long to study the ill effects. Many Winona children developed cancer, elephantitus, mysterious skin diseases or albinoism. Some people are fighting back with demonstrations and lawsuits and some do get compensated for the harm they have suffered. Others try to have some effect on the way industrial plants are designed, to lower the risk of chemical leakage. The media has tried to tell the story; one courageous reporter began a lawsuit on behalf of her polluted home town. We are just beginning to understand the subtle ways in which such chemicals affect children's ability to learn, how they influence their social behavior, how they impair human ability to fend off disease and to reproduce. Not a single child born today will be able to escape this chemical heritage. High School College Adult
