"There's No Tomorrow" is an animation documentary about limits to growth. It discusses many subjects like: resource depletion, EROEI (energy returned on energy invested) and food production. What I really like about this short video is that, in contrast to many related documentaries, it presents all the information in a clear and simple way. I hope you will enjoy it!

I also liked the design of the video, since it's very clear and simple. Thanks for your presentation.
I find this video very good, it tells a story very clearly.
The animation is acceptable and I may say that I like it very much
2) They are right but meaningless until we actually start doing something about the problem at hand.
3) I have no idea. I would have to try doing this.
4) It still is a documentary and i don't like these xD
The presented future prediction sounds reasonable. It has actually started happening already. Fertilizers poison the rivers and oceans and many places in the world do not have access to clean water. We also have a problem with waste utilization. With China's decision to stop importing plastic waste this year we are facing a real issue.
The global energy debt crisis deepens as China is reaching its limits:

The documentary talked a lot about an average American, but China is the second and fast growing energy consumer with 1.4 bln people. The economical problems that China or India are facing are of completely different proportions than the ones we do in the West:

I think that using animation in the documentary helps to simplify the topic being described. It also appeals more personal and friendly.
It's commendable if you are really think so and your rush will not end tomorrow.
We are the main enemies of our existence on our planet. To change something, you need to change yourself first - obvious words, but what impact they could have if each of us could understand this.
The words in the end are frustrating, that even if we will become smarter and more attentive to the resource of the earth, humanity is still doomed to perish...
As for myself, I decided to choose a bicycle over a public transport and get rid of the habit of storing packets in packets)
I think that the key to survival is being able to harvest resources on the moon and other planets in our solar system. Earth will finally run out of every single material but there's plentiful on other planets, moons and asteroids.
By the time this problem becomes really important, we will be using other types of fuels and if not... Why should I care if it would probably not hit me as I'll be long dead? It's all nice n' easy to say "use bicycle, public transport" when you are sitting in a nice cozy chair in front of PC, but when it comes to getting up to work, it somehow feels better when you are sitting in your own car, listen to your own music and don't have to bounce between an old lady travelling nowhere and some piss-stinking bum, or freeze your head off and inhale fresh fumes of the car in front of you, while riding on a bicycle...
And on account of the "design" of the presentation, everything was very clear and informative. Thank you very much, it was interesting.
