our mission

Written by Robin Miller on .

circle_gas_blueOur team's mission is to produce media about solutions to climate change. We will continue to do so until we put ourselves out of business.

carbon nation is an optimistic, solutions-based, non-preachy, non-partisan, big tent film that shows tackling climate change boosts the economy, increases national & energy security and promotes health & a clean environment. The film's optimism and pragmatism are appealing across the political spectrum. While other good films have been about problems, blame and guilt, carbon nation is a film that celebrates solutions, inspiration and action. We meet a host of entertaining and endearing characters along the way..

carbon nation will affect public opinion when viewed by a large cross section of the American Public. Our aspiration is to make carbon nation available to every Middle School, High School, College, University and interested group, and for the film to be a widely used tool to inform and shape a well-informed and pragmatic discussion about climate change.

circle_coatofarms_redcarbon nation team top tips for reducing your co2 footprint

Energy Efficiency

  • Weatherize your house – if there’s a draft, there’s a leak.
  • When your roof needs repairs, paint it white at the same time.
  • Unplug DVD players, coffee makers, phone chargers – anything not in use.
  • 5-minute showers are much better than baths.
  • Raise your kid’s allowance if they help reduce utility bills.

Clean Energy

  • Buy your utility’s green energy option.
  • Solar Hot Water Heaters = huge CO2 reductions.
  • Wind - can your home or office use a small turbine?
  • Geothermal – can you install a home geothermal heat pump?
  • Seek out community purchasing groups to buy & install solar panels in bulk,
  • like lbog.org.

Land Use

  • Meatless Mondays – eat meat one day less a week.
  • Eat local food, efficiently delivered.
  • Use only Forest Stewardship wood products.
  • Use a push lawn mower.

Leadership

  • Elect clean energy public servants.
