Clean and plentiful water provides the foundation for prosperous communities. We rely on clean water to survive, yet right now we are heading towards a water crisis. Tell President Obama to strengthen - not weaken - the Clean Water Act.

Rise / @Connect4Climate iChange competition

Climate Change may raise sea levels significantly, affecting major coastal cities such as London, Shanghai, Rio, Melbourne, Lagos, and New York City. This video prompts us to reassess the moral responsibility we have to our planet. Either the seas can rise, or we can.

Envirometer / @ IngenioComun

Make, an animation studio in Minneapolis, has launched "Envirometer", a short film exploring the tension between conservation and industrialization. A simple act of recycling rubbish becomes the inspiration for both environmentalists and developers, leading to a fight regulated by the fantastic measuring contraption known as the Envirometer. As the conflict escalates and the situations become increasingly more destructive and selfish, the vengeful and godlike Envirometer may be the only hope to unite the opposing viewpoints and create a progressive world where everyone can live in harmony.

Plastic Packaging / @NRDC

Plastic packaging is wasteful and ultimately damaging for the environment as most of it ends up in landfills and our oceans.

Acid Test: The Global Challenge of Ocean Acidification / @NRDC

TRASHED (2012) Environmental documentary with Jeremy Irons

Trashed - No Place For Waste with the participation of Jeremy Irons, looks at the risks to the food chain and the environment through pollution of our air, land and sea by waste. The film reveals surprising truths about very immediate and potent dangers to our health. It is a global conversation from Iceland to Indonesia between the film star Jeremy Irons and scientists, politicians and ordinary individuals whose health and livelihoods have been fundamentally affected by waste pollution. Visually and emotionally the film is both horrific and beautiful: an interplay of human interest and political wake-up call. But it ends on a message of hope: showing how the risks to our survival can easily be averted through sustainable approaches that provide far more employment than the current 'waste industry'.

HOME a film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand / @Yann_A_B

HOME has a very clear message. We have a greater impact on the Earth than it can bear. We over-consume and are depleting the Earth's resources. From the air, it's easy to see the Earth's wounds. So, HOME simply sets out our current situation, while saying that a solution exists.

The film's subtitle could be It's Too Late To Be A Pessimist. We have reached a crossroads; important decisions must be taken to change our world. Everybody knows about what the film says, but nobody wants to believe it. So HOME adds its weight to the argument of environmental organizations that we need to revert to a more commonsensical approach and change our consumer way of life.

This visually dramatic special illustrates the planet's fragile state entirely from a birds-eye view in stunning high definition. With spectacular aerial views from more than 50 countries, viewers will see the extent of human impact on our landscapes. And not a moment too soon: In the past 50 years -a single lifetime - the Earth has been more radically changed than by all previous generations of humanity.

Wood Reduces the Environmental Impact of Buildings / @reThinkWood

When evaluating building materials, it is important to consider their environmental impact across their life cycle. This video highlights how wood products have less embodied energy, are responsible for lower air and water pollution, and have a lighter carbon footprint than other commonly used building materials. Visit reThink Wood's website to learn how wood delivers more and has a lower cost to the environment.
