A colleague whom I respect has just emailed me an invitation to screenings next week in Washington DC of a film Mine Your Own Business. The first screening will be with the House Natural Resources Committee. I have not seen the film, but according to the invitation, Mine Your Own Business looks at the negative impacts of environmentalism. It presents the views of some of the world's poorest people, who openly discuss how western environmentalists are campaigning to keep them in poverty, because they want to "preserve" poor countries' "quaint" and "indigenous" way of life. It is the first documentary to ask hard questions of the environmental movement. (It isn't difficult to detect elitism in environmental activists.) To view the trailer and for more information on the film and the Moving Picture Institute, which produced it, visit: www.mineyourownbusiness.org <http://www.mineyourownbusiness.org/> or www.thempi.org <http://www.thempi.org/> . Reservations are requested for each screening. Gordon Davy
