John > I spent a lot of time trying to find out more about the film 'cry of the marsh' This is what I found: buyindies.com >>>Cry Of The Marsh (1972) Description: North American marshes are breeding grounds for birds and serve as natural reservoirs to help prevent floods. But these precious wetlands are becoming victims of man's appetite for farmland and urban development. This film, without narration, serves as a graphic depiction of the ecological consequences of "reclaiming" marshlands. <<< > Our young people seem more interested in becoming good earnest consumers and full time shoppers and keeping that global economy humming than becoming tree huggers. "The survival of the fattest" and I'm sure it's true everywhere. Unfortunately, as some of us know, exponentially growing consumption in a world of, presumably, finite resources is sure to give rise to trouble in one way or another. I guess it's a question of values and the appreciation of what one has. My problem with the "disposable society" is that it has, in fact, become just that --- nothing is worth keeping or looking after. After one gets rid of the goods, one gets rid of the people --- and then oneself. It's only by learning to look after and cherish the little things that one can eventually apply that philosophy to the bigger ones.
