‘I’m Environmentally Conscious’

A satire about environmentalism and going green on the set of a movie production.

An environmentalist confronts her littering neighbor.

From wheatboard cabinetry to recycled steel, bamboo flooring to dual-flush toilets, these Boston tough guy construction workers get a crash course in what it means to be "environmentally conscious". And when things on the building star to go wrong, the young development team has to keep the project from unraveling. Held as "a clear-eyed film - an examination of the hard work involved in going green" by The Seattle Times, this compelling documentary is a story of bold ideas, new environmentalists, and the future of the way we live.

"We are the renters of this world, not its masters," reminds Pooshkar, a precocious 13-year-old member of a youth environmental defense group in India. He and his fellow voraciously energetic students actively rally against the use of plastics. In Africa, a renaissance man teaches citizens to harness solar power to cook food. In Papua New Guinea, villagers practice sustainable logging to save their rainforests. A woman in London uses her PR savvy to start a successful environmental communications firm. Self-described "hillbillies" in Appalachia battle the big business behind strip mining. In this rich and inspiring documentary, director Brian Hill takes us around the world to find the ordinary people taking action in the fight to save our environment.
