- Controcorrente is an entirely emission-free documentary movie produced thanks to crowdfunding by hundred supporters, most of them under 30. Controcorrente is no conventional movie production, but a project from below. It is an idea of two youngsters which became reality thanks to the web of followers, who believed in the project and in its social value and financed it. Having crossed 11 Italian regions, this documentary focuses on the most pressing environmental issues. It deals with the question of climate change and its social repercussions, both in Italy and worldwide. It is zero-impact because we calculated the documentary's Carbon Footprint - direct and indirect emissions - and we compensated for them through the planting of a woods in the province of Vercelli, which has about 200 trees. This documentary endeavors at implementing scientific divulgation and environmental education. It is designed to be a product accessible to all, primarily aimed at the new generations who hold in their hands our planet's future, not only from an environmental point of view. A zero-impact documentary - Controcorrente woods Despite our awareness towards the environment, to produce Controcorrente about 2613 kg of CO2 were emitted until now. The Carbon Footprint calculation has been realized by two students of the course in Economics of the Environment, Culture and Territory of the University of Turin. It allowed the team of Controcorrente to compensate (and over-compensate) for the emissions necessary to the movie production. Thanks to the Piedmont Region and the Po Vercellese-Alessandrina park, the 23d of March 2019 we planted the Controcorrente woods in Fontanetto Po (in the province of Vercelli), which has about 200 trees. It is therefore the first impact-zero documentary.

- Whales beached after ingesting plastic, oceans soiled: a quarter of marine waste today comes from cans and plastic bottles. The drinks industry produces 470 billion single-use bottles each year, 25% of which come from Coca-Cola. Although the world's largest soft drink producer has set ambitious targets to prevent this environmental pollution, it has often failed to do so. In the 1950s, the company sold its drink exclusively in returnable glass bottles, which it washed and refilled. Two decades later, these were replaced by disposable bottles - a decision whose devastating effects still linger.

- In June 2010, Greenpeace took Oscar-winning actress, Marion Cotillard, to visit the tropical rainforests in the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Travelling by pirogue (a small wooden boat), she witnessed the destruction caused by logging first hand. International logging companies are plundering the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo and causing social chaos for many of the 40 million-odd people who depend on the rainforests for their livelihoods but whose voices are ignored. While the logging companies trade (often illegally logged) timber, avoid taxes, bribe officials and cheat local people out of invaluable forest resources in exchange for a few bags of salt, the forests themselves - and the many endangered species that live in them - are in jeopardy.

- Every few years a series of climatic shifts in the Pacific known as 'El Niño' wreak havoc throughout the Philippines. Captured over several years, this film reveals the dire impact it is having on the population. "We should be planting now but there is no water... no rain means no income", laments Quiciano. The severe droughts brought on by El Niño have destroyed his crop. The El Niño phenomenon is part of natural climate variability, but the frequency and intensity of these events are predicted to increase with climate change. So while El Niño traditionally has been rare, in recent years global warming has transformed the climate with disastrous effects, causing drought and increased typhoon intensity as a result. Charities such as Greenpeace are educating farmers on the dangers of global warming, promoting organic farming as a source of healthier soil and a more resilient crop. As temperatures continue to rise, organic farming is needed now more than ever and, as one worker explains, "We need to change our strategy for agriculture. We have to give the community the capacity to feed itself".
