ENERGY AND MORALITY

33 minutes/Grades 9-Adult

Produced by Bitterroot Films/A film by Swain Wolfe

A thought-provoking film that explores the complex
relationship of energy use to different value systems. One
predominant view is that living things tend to develop patterns
that maximize their use of energy and that therefore in human
societies it is economics that designs ethics. Another viewpoint
presented by Amory Lovins and E.F. Schumacher is that ethics can,
or should, redesign human economics to be in accord with nature's
economy. With Study Guide

• "Unlike most films about energy, ENERGY AND MORALITY is deeply
  philosophical, asking questions about how energy use affects our
  society, our values, ourselves... It raised many questions that I
  had never asked before. For the energy professional, or educators
  involved in energy education, I would highly recommend the film...
  It can be used in a wide range of classes, including science,
  social studies, political science, and philosophy. It is suitable
  for high-ability high school students, typical college students,
  or adults." Journal of College Science Teaching
  

• "Contains some of the most memorable images of any film
  previewed, and introduces an entirely untouched and important area
  of concern in energy. I will not soon forget this film -- and I
  can say that only about a handful of films I have seen, out of
  hundreds screened in my life." Ron Rollet, Editor, Film Library
  Quarterly, and Professor of Environmental Communications, Univ. of
  Michigan.
