The films message of localization and the growing efforts to create a more resilient and self reliant future speaks to the heart of the Transition Town movement. It’s a great w ay to spread the word about Transition, so make sure you invite your f riends!\n\"A powerful new film that cuts deeply to the heart of the gl obal crisis. Magnificent!\" - David Suzuki\n\"Economic globalization h as led to a massive expansion in the scale and power of big business a nd banking. It has also worsened nearly every problem we face: fundame ntalism and ethnic conflict; climate chaos and species extinction; fin ancial instability and unemployment. There are personal costs too. For the majority of people on the planet, life is becoming increasingly s tressful. We have less time for friends and family and we face mountin g pressures at work.The Economics of Happiness describes a world movin g simultaneously in two opposing directions. On the one hand, an unhol y alliance of governments and big business continues to promote global ization and the consolidation of corporate power. At the same time, pe ople all over the world are resisting those policies, demanding a re-r egulation of trade and finance—and, far from the old institutions of power, they’re starting to forge a very different future. Communiti es are coming together to re-build more human scale, ecological econom ies based on a new paradigm – an economics of localization.\"\nYou c an see the trailer at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTWu0ML_v0&feat ure=related\n\nFor more information visit https://transitionwhatcom.ni ng.com/events/the-economics-of-happiness DTSTART;TZID=America/Boise:20110507T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/Boise:20110507T163000 CATEGORIES:film, showing LOCATION:The Pickford Film Center WEBSITE:http://www.pickfordcinema.org/page/Playing-PFC.aspx URL:http://www.pickfordcinema.org/page/Playing-PFC.aspx CONTACT: ORGANIZER;CN="warren miller":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profil e/warrenmiller ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2270112965?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Matthew Christy":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/MatthewChristy ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Marian B eddill":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/MarianBeddill ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Erika Th orsen":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/ErikaThorsen ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Cindi La ndreth":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/CindiLandreth ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Future M an":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/FutureMan ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Susan Kr oll and Sergio Moreno":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/Susa nKrollandSergioMoreno ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Alys Ken nedy":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/AlysKennedy ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Carlene Marie Ramus":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/CarleneMarieRa mus ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="David Ma cLeod":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/DavidMacLeod ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Shelly J Davis":https://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/profile/ShellyJDavis ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Laura R.
