Shopping: The Choices We Make
Meets goals 12E, 13B, 15B
56 min., 5th grade to adult, A spoof TV special/documentary that takes a look at our over-consumptive, materialistic society.
sequel, 56min., 5th grade to adult, an excellent documentary showing how many people from all walks of life are scaling down their spending habits to attain a better quality of life and do less damage to the environment. The people interviewed give ideas on how to reduce consumption and live with "voluntary simplicity". I highly recommend this tape; it's better than the first video.
