From “The Story of Stuff” crew comes a new video about “Cap & Trade”. For those not following the future of Earth, Cap & Trade basically ties pollution regulation to the free market. Time and time again people (and their governments) have been duped into embracing free market policies by convincing and selfish institutions, often to their own detriment. Just talk to the people of Argentina or Chili or any African nation that has ever agreed to take a loan from the IMF or World Bank. The poor and underrepresented will always loose because the free market is definitely not a fair market and it has nothing to do with freedom… it is all about self interest. The last thing I want to see is the future of the planet hedged on the market. We should not be trading our future, we should be building it. Why do we never learn?
