Bright Green Lies is a must-read for all who cherish life on Earth.\u201d \u2014Jeff Gibbs, writer, director, and producer of the film Planet of the Humans.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The film Bright Green Lies investigates the change in focus of the mainstream environmental movement, from its original concern with protecting nature, to its current obsession with powering an unsustainable way of life. The film exposes the lies and fantastical thinking behind the notion that solar, wind, hydro, biomass, or green consumerism will save us from climate change. Tackling the most pressing issues of our time will require us to look beyond the mainstream technological solutions and ask deeper questions about what needs to change.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/346171480\" width=\"777\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/346171480\">Bright Green Lies \u2013 Trailer<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/juliabarnes\">Julia Barnes<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Max Wilbert\u2014Bright Green Lies co-author &amp; DGR activist\u2014Derrick Jensen Resistance Radio 2020-07-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4EYiNDob_7o?feature=oembed\" width=\"777\" height=\"437\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book and Film Expose the Illusion of \u201cGreen\u201d Technology: \u201cBright Green Lies\u201d Technology can be and has been beneficial in many ways.\u00a0 Unfortunately, it\u2019s been disastrous in others.\u00a0 For example, utility \u201cSmart\u201d Meters have been nothing but trouble for people and the environment in numerous ways including fires and explosions (see\u00a01,\u00a02,\u00a03,\u00a04,\u00a05).\u00a0 Ditto on 5G (see\u00a01,\u00a02,\u00a03,\u00a04,\u00a05).
