Bright Green Lies (2021)
Julia Barnes: Self
Quotes
-
Julia Barnes : Bright green environmentalism has gained popularity because it tells a lot of people what they want to hear: that you can have industrial civilization and a planet, too. It allows people to feel good while maintaining this destructive way of living, and to avoid asking hard questions about the depth of what must be changed.
-
Julia Barnes : I spent three years making a film about the Ocean. It is only now that I've learned that the production of so-called 'green' technology represents one of the largest upcoming threats to the Ocean. They want to mine the deep sea, to provide the materials necessary for the proliferation of so-called 'green' energy.

Julia Barnes : The Ocean, which is the source of all life, has become the next sacrifice zone in the name of 'green' technology.

Julia Barnes : Evidently, this culture doesn't care if the Ocean has a future. It's more interested in justifying continued exploitation under the banner of 'green' consumerism. What we desperately need is an environmental movement that's willing to put Nature first, that's willing to put life on this planet above our way of life. We need people who look honestly at the problems and have the courage to ask the right questions. Most importantly, we need to get to work, stop the destruction, and allow life to come back.
