Story of Cap and Trade, The

Synopsis
A controversial, hilarious critique of the leading "solution" to climate change. In this 10-minute, animation, Annie Leonard breaks down cap and trade in the way only she can. The film explains exactly how this system is supposed to work and why so many well-meaning people support it. Then it points out the nasty little devils lurking in the details that make current cap and trade proposals more of a distraction than a real solution.

The film was made by The Story of Stuff Project & Free Range Studios, in partnership with Climate Justice Now! and the Durban Group for Climate Justice, two leading international networks of climate justice advocates.
