I was introduced to Dr. Bartlett's video by my permaculture teacher. I use parts 1 and 5 in a presentation for university freshmen on sustainability. I think I need to add some more unpacking after showing the videos - It's pretty mindblowing and I can't really tell if the students get it or not. My only beef is that I would love a version with updated statistics. I'm currently working on replacing the video with slides of my own when I present. Yay!

I came across this youtube six months ago and I have been using the milk bottle story to really hit home for people about the seriousness of the growth culture we are trapped in. One interesting conversation I had was with a 17 year old science student, I asked him what he thought would happen at 12 o'clock when the bacteria run out of room, he said "they will simultaneously kill each other and starve to death". That milk bottle sounds like somewhere we know, doesnt it? This is brilliant Craig, thanks for putting it here.

This should be a "must-watch" for everyone. Thanks for this post Craig. This should be a “must-watch” for everyone.
