The film

We are told that we can have a modern, high-energy way of life without destroying life on the planet. All we have to do is switch energy sources and buy different products. But do these ‘solutions’ benefit the natural world, or do they allow us to feel better about ourselves while the destruction accelerates? In Bright Green Lies, award-winning director Julia Barnes investigates the extraction-dependent and ecologically destructive reality behind ‘green’ technologies.

About the film

Bright Green Lies investigates the change in focus of the mainstream environmental movement, from its original concern with protecting nature, to its current obsession with powering an unsustainable way of life. The film exposes the lies behind the notion that solar, wind, hydro, biomass, or green consumerism will save the planet. Tackling the most pressing issues of our time will require us to look beyond the mainstream technological “solutions” and ask deeper questions about what needs to change.

The book

“Bright Green Lies dismantles the illusion of ‘green’ technology in breathtaking, comprehensive detail, revealing a fantasy that must perish if there is to be any hope of preserving what remains of life on Earth. From solar panels to wind turbines, from LED light bulbs to electric cars, no green fantasy escapes Jensen, Keith, and Wilbert’s revealing peek behind the green curtain. Bright Green Lies is a must-read for all who cherish life on Earth.” —Jeff Gibbs, writer, director, and producer of the film Planet of the Humans
