The Story of Cap & Trade


This is a story about a world obsessed with stuff. This is a story about a system in crisis. We're trashing the planet; we're trashing each other; and we're not even having fun...


A fast-paced, fact-filled look at the leading climate solution being discussed at Copenhagen and on Capitol Hill. Host Annie Leonard (Story of Stuff) introduces the energy traders and Wall Street financiers at the heart of the scheme and reveals the "devils in the details" in current cap and trade proposals - free permits to big polluters, fake offsets and distraction from what's really required to tackle the climate crisis.



If you've heard about Cap & Trade but aren't sure how it works (or who benefits), this is the film for you.
