Sustainable, ethical, organic are words that you hear more and more nowadays and there is a reason. We are at a point where we cannot ignore it anymore. Changes need to be made. To raise awareness about those topics, in the last years, documentaries, movies and movements came out to talk about the issue. To save you time searching for some we put together the 5 best documentaries about sustainability that you should watch:
History 101 on Netflix:
A mini-series perfect for kids. Their facts are nothing new and some about geographic independence need to be reviewed but the article about plastic and fast food is perfect to raise awareness to kids. 20 min episodes of quick and catchy pictures to explain different issues like: plastic.
A plastic ocean:
If you like Earth documentaries with amazing pictures of the sea this is a documentary for you. It will show you the impact of single-use plastic on not only the oceans but also on yourself.
The true cost:
A must-see for every fashion girl. Not only is it well done it shows a lot of issues that got created with the fast fashion industry. You will, after watching it, view your shopping differently.
Sustainable:
One of my personal favourite. It definitely makes you want to grow a self-sufficient house and/ or help your local farmer. It is investigating not only environmental impact but also the economic impact of non-sustainable choices. I like the fact that a lot of people are included in it and family stories as well as their solution to become more sustainable.
An inconvenient truth:
A global warming movie. Amazing movie: entertaining but also informative and beautifully done. It is a family documentary that will inform everyone and open to a lot of discussion. I think this is an amazing one, to begin with. You really will understand why everyone is being more and more concern. You will have not only facts but pictures and explanations too.
During these uncertain times, we can use some time to inform us on what to change when everything will reopen to offer us a better world. Let me know which one is your favourite and what changes are you doing or planning to do from now on.
