Description
Is it realistic or fanciful to look forward to a clean world? A world in which energy is 100 percent renewable, water is no longer polluted, transportation is truly green, and production methods are harmless to the environment? According to the "clean technology" school of thought, there will be such a world. This film explores the fascinating possibilities of a new industrial revolution promised by cleantech entrepreneurship and corporate practices. While not every scientist or economist sees them as inevitable, these possibilities include eco-friendly mobility powered by sustainable energy, clean drinking water for all thanks to nanotechnology, textile dyes that use recycled carbon dioxide, and more. Is all of this feasible? Could it be happening successfully even now? Commentary from Nick Parker, cofounder of the Cleantech Group, offers answers to those questions and outlines what our world might be like in the decades to come.
