Christmas weekend is a great occasion to relax and watch your favorite movies. I suggest you spend the winter holidays with the benefit of reviewing useful tapes. Top 30 eco movies of the last decade:

The Grinch - The Christmas Thief (2000)

The best movie to watch for Christmas. Has many sessions. For example, that society itself makes secluded and evil people. Anti-corruption: when the mayor of Huville wanted to give his beloved a car at the expense of the city's taxpayers. Each of us can change the whole human world, and thus many people (the example of Cindy Lou). And of course, the ecological implication: all gifts after Christmas fall into the landfill, so the holiday is not in gifts, decorations or tables that break from food. A holiday in our hearts!

Among the interlocutors are scientists, politicians and ordinary people whose health and lifestyle have suffered from the problem of environmental pollution by waste.
