Dandelion: The Ecological Footprint
Fritz doesn't find it funny that his neighbor David tells his sister Kim that he lives in Fritz's construction trailer. Kim doesn't like wastefulness and she thinks the construction trailer is cool and environmentally conscious. Fritz is told to stay in David's apartment for a day so David can brag about living frugally. Kim sees through her brother. But Fritz and her play along with the swindle. This film explains, among other things, what the 'ecological footprint' actually means. In the funny and at the same time emotional plot, we can ask ourselves whether we actually need everything we consume - or whether the climate isn't worth following the motto 'Live well instead of having a lot' more often.
Post the screenings, participants will get hands on with an experiment that shows us how the sea levels are rising, and the impact of that rise!
