The Economics of Happiness: Green Drinks June Film Screening
Green Initiatives' 90th film screening this June is an award-winning documentary film, The Economics of Happiness, which spells out the social, spiritual, and ecological costs of today’s global economy. Importantly, the film also highlights the many benefits of a shift towards the local and showcases some of the steps people are already taking worldwide.
6月绿色倡议的第90期电影放映活动将放映获奖纪录片《幸福经济学》。影片讲述了当今全球经济背后对社会、精神健康和生态环境的伤害。影片同样强调了转移本地化所带来的好处，并例举了全球人们已开展的行动。
Film Synopsis 电影概要：
Local Futures, also known as the Economics of Happiness, believes that modern societies have taken a fundamentally wrong turn: policymakers, mainstream economists, and business leaders have consistently pushed us in the direction of ever more growth, while ignoring the ecological destruction and spiritual poverty that have been the price of rampant consumerism, massive scale, and escalating speed.
《幸福经济学》相信现代社会已走上了迷途：政策制定者、主流经济学家和商业精英将我们的社会不断地推向持续发展的方向，却忽视了猖狂的消费主义和高速大规模发展所带来的生态坏境恶化、精神生活缺失等问题。
We believe that a radically different paradigm is needed. Rather than attempting to solve every problem by ‘growing the economy’, we need to focus instead on meeting real human and ecological needs through awakening to our spiritual ties to community and nature – through an ‘economics of happiness’.
我们需要建立一个崭新的观念。与其试图通过“发展经济”来解决每一个问题， 我们更需要通过唤醒我们与社区和自然的精神纽带，遇见真实的人类并满足生态需求，比如发起“幸福经济学”的运动。
