Do the Math

Synopsis
Author and environmental activist Bill McKibben delivers a clear message: to avoid climate catastrophe, we have to limit carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere to 350 parts per million or below, but we are presently at 400 parts per million. The maths is simple. This documentary follows McKibbean as he tours 21 USA cities raising awareness about the consequences of CO2 emissions and fossil fuel use. A Discussion Guide, the Transcript and a free preview can be accessed via the Media Foundation website.
