“MY FILM, TITLED “THE GREEN CANARD,” would expose Santa Monica’s ungreen reality. While residents may be conserving resources and using less, in general, City Hall and commercial development is pigging out. Water consumption, electric usage and sewer outflow is greater than ever. In truth, Santa Monica’s carbon footprint would color these eight square miles the blackest on earth. Anyway, there’s no need to cast anybody. This is a documentary.”
