From the same woman who gave us the brilliant “The Story of Stuff” a while back, a new film that says cap-and-trade policies are destructing and not to be trusted. What do you think?
I think it’s a great explanatory piece, despite my disagreements with her policy. It’s probably a great film to use in economics class, yes?

Festival of the Trees #43 is up at Jason Hogle’s Xenogere. It’s usually a great blog carnival — but I recommend this one also because Jason uses a walk through Dallas’s Celebration Tree Grove as the theme for the carnival.
Particularly apt in this International Year of Biodiversity, as Jason reminds us.
