Watch this film and get your freak on.
 

If it helps, shake a leg and maybe dance around a little. We suggest that instead of burying your head in the sand.

Now once you've got over that, hopefully this sobering animation about climate change will have sunk in and given you some ammunition for animated conversations when you’re trying to make a point or two about climate change and the impending catastrophe – unless we of course sort it out! This little number from animator and Plane Stupid press officer, Leo Murray is a lively reminder of the urgency of the challenge that faces us all!

Enjoy!

Now, with public support, that's a problem the Ecological Land Cooperative is determined to solve.
