Powerful video. I used to be as bad as the next person with detrimental consumer habits , over consumption of individually wrapped plastic everything. Over the years I have worked really hard on reducing my carbon footprint and preach the same thing, we are destroying our world. Here in Canada everyone is fighting against Alberta pipeline expansion yet consuming everything like gluttons, getting oil carried over by tankers from countries without the strict environmental standards we have, chopping down entire forests, all the sewage dumped in rivers by the same areas that protest the pipeline and blame the industry but are all unwilling to look in the mirror at their own habits excessive purchases that fuel the very industry in the first place. Landfills and oceans filled up with plastic garbage yet everyone continues to consume disposable plastic at an increasing rate. No need to go back to the cave age but if everyone around the developed world consumed smarter and made a few small changes, together it would have a significant impact on the planet.

I have stopped using disposable plastic bags, I significantly reduced the amount of garbage I produce by not buying single serve anything or packaged meals. I have started using reusable containers instead of sandwich bags or plastic wrap. I stopped changing my wardrobe as often and buying timeless quality clothing that I can keep for a long time instead of disposable fashion. Those are just a few examples of ways to consume more responsibly. At the end of the day, in a world so reliant on credit to maintain an unsustainable lifestyle, a few changes would benefits everybody.

Having done photography for a while now, It's like a record of the changes and a disappearing landscape. Visiting the icefields regularly is a direct visual to what is happening as they continue to recede and haven't seen any growth in many decades, That's our water suplly here in Alberta and they are disappearing.
