Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Brighterplanet Budget for Docs

Chicken & Egg Pictures, one of the Documentary grant makers, is asking:

We encourage you to calculate your carbon footprint, using the
Brighter Planet website and offset your omissions. Incorporate your
carbon footprint offset figure as a line item in your budget."

http://www.brighterplanet.com/

Brighter planet is a great initiative to make us all more
environmentally-aware citizens, but I am at a loss as to what extent I
should calculate the environmental impact of my doc. From shipping a
package to using transportation for shooting, to using computers to
edit, you name it.
