Ordinary movies and entertainment exist as a mundane form of public dreaming. Art can give a reminder of the timeless condition of being. The wider role of the artist is the model an aesthetic reality that creates an upward attraction on society.

What to do in response to the planetary emergency of global-warming and climate crisis?

Significant conservation, alernative energy, birth-rate reduction, massive tree planting? But also listen to Albert Einstein: "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."

Animals raised for food in the USA: use 40% of total land; over half of all water; about one third of energy use; consume 80% of the corn and 95% of the oats grown.

Consider the hidden energy cost of purchases; for example, it takes 3 liters of water to produce one liter of plastic bottled water. We need to be boldly proactive in order to curb catastrophic climate chaos and extinctions (global-warming).
