Crimes Against the Future started off as a documentary, wich can only do so much. So an Action Toolkit was created.

About this Documentary:

Hosted by award-winning journalist Karl Grossman, "Crimes Against The Future" features Bianca Jagger, David Suzuki, Randy Hayes and others who put into perspective the crimes that are being committed against future generations environmentally and in regard to human rights. The documentary is directed and edited by award-winner Frank Melli. Hunter Lovins provides a wealth of solutions to lead humanity back to a life-affirming path. Also in the documentary include Dr. Michio Kaku, Dr. Helen Caldicott, France's former Minister of the Environment Bryce Lalonde, and Barbara Pyle. As Pyle puts it: "It's a moral imperative."

The Crimes Against the Future Documentary Supplement ACTION- TOOLKIT gives you just about everything you need to help STOP these crimes against the future. There are tremendous assets for CEO's, local governments, citizens and local organizations to start making the world sustainable. Sustainable means livable with quality of life for the next seven generations and beyond.

​These tools are contributions from documentary participants Randy Hayes, Hunter Lovins and others.

ACTION TOOLKIT

The New Green Deal by Randy Hayes is a Seven-Point Plan for a Deep Planetary Emergency Version: 4.1

​1. Promote a ​True Cost Economy. Replace the polluting model with a circular steady-state one.

​2. Shift to 100% renewable energy​, while using much less energy and wasting none.

​3. Shift 100% ecological farming​, with a plant-based food focus.

​4. Protect the web of life​. Also restore damaged natural systems to halt the extinction crisis.

​5. Shift to low-impact lifestyles ​of ecologically literate citizenry with declining population​.

​6. Ensure appropriate technology policy​. Study and act upon unintended consequences.

​7. Other​. This list can’t account for all that is needed. We trust you will address additional vital issues.
