Film screening: Scarred Lands and Wounded Lives: The Environmental Footprint of War
December 1, 2010
In all its stages, from the production of weapons through combat to cleanup and restoration, war entails actions that pollute land, air, and water, destroy biodiversity, and drain natural resources. Yet the environmental damage occasioned by war and preparation for war is routinely underestimated, underreported, even ignored. The environment remains war's 'silent casualty.' From explosion of ordinance to mass migration; from leakage of bombed oil tankers in World War 2 to massive contribution to global warming; from nuclear radiation to lost resources for civil society, the film deals extensively with the incompatibility of war-making with a sustainable earth and humanity. The film is made by Alice and Lincoln Day. Alice Day is a Smith College alumna. Co-sponsored by the Alliance for Peace and Justice and the Environmental Science and Policy Program at Smith College.
