12:00- True Cost of Food
Like its title, this short animation shows with humor the 
environmental and human costs of food production and distribution in 
the US.  

12:30- Toast
This video demonstrates our underlying and continuing dependence on 
fossil fuels, using the production and distribution of a commonplace 
item, bread, as its example. It documents all the fossil fuel inputs 
from the oil well head (to make the fertilizer to grow the wheat, 
etc.) to the toaster. 

1:00 - Transforming Energy: What is Our Future After Oil 
This video is about the hope of alternative energy as a solution to 
global warming and the end of cheap oil and gas.  It takes us into 
the lives of scientist, visionaries, students and activists who are 
on the ground now creating a new energy paradigm.

2:30- Kilowatt Ours (energy efficiency & renewables)
An uplifting and sometimes humorous documentary by filmmaker Jeff 
Barrie who takes viewers on a journey from the coal mines of West 
Virginia to the solar panel fields of Florida, as he discovers 
solutions to America's energy related problems.
