A little while back in the semester I attended a screening on campus of the documentary “2040” for students in the intro to environmental issues course. The documentary was created by filmmaker Damon Gameau, who was in search of new possible ways to combat climate change. In the film, he traveled around the world and spoke with various people about these solutions while comparing our current situation to what our future could look like in the year 2040 if these innovations are implemented. I really enjoyed attending this event. I love watching documentaries and the film covered an important topic that needs to be discussed more. This documentary also gave me some hope in terms of our ability to reverse the effects of climate change. While there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, it’s reassuring to know that people are taking action and there are many different solutions to this issue that are being worked on.
