TOAST

12 minutes/Grades 3-Adult

Produced by Earth Chronicles/A film by Daniel Hoffman

One of the most effective energy films ever made, TOAST
illustrates our underlying dependence on fossil fuels, and takes
as its example the production and distribution of a commonplace
item, bread. Using flowing images set to music, it documents all
the fossil fuel inputs, from the oil well head (to make the
fertilizer to grow the wheat, etc.) to the toaster. With
Discussion Guide.

Awards: Judges' Award, North American Consumer Film Festival;
National Association for Environmental Education Film Festival;
Featured at U.S. Pavilion World's Fair, Knoxville
