Last week in NYC, I attended the Green Carpet Global Premiere of the Age of Stupid, a film directed by Franny Armstrong.
The star-studded event feature guests arrived on rickshaw, sailboat, smart car and other sensible forms of transportation. At left, the mayor of Copenhagen walks the green carpet with her citys preferred mode of transporation, bicycle.
In the Age of Stupid,Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance.
The film encourages viewers to get involved in the 10:10 campaign, a personal pledge to cut your emissions 10% in 2010. If individuals, organizations, and businesses each took a small step we would have the moral authority to ask our political leaders to do the same.
Gillian Anderson and Moby talk about the importance of the Age of Stupid at the Global Premiere:
