Ever wonder why people don't just change? We hear about environmental destruction around every corner these days and with all this knowledge, it seems like it would be easy to just STOP. Well, it turns out things are not so simple. Through first person narrative and documentary this piece takes a look at one of the most difficult questions our society faces: what does it mean to be an environmental citizen when almost every action we take in our daily lives, from working at a computer and buying food at the grocery store, to producing a radio piece, is detrimental to the very environment we are trying to save? Interviews with environmental journalists from the radio program Living on Earth, thoughts from teenagers who are just waking up to the environmental nightmare that could be their future, voices of people on the street, and music to inspire deep thought, all make this a unique and inspiring piece of work. Produced while completing an internship with Living on Earth, and as a part of her graduate studies in environmental education, "The Little Things" is a hard hitting debut for independent producer Paige Doughty.
