Dearest Colin,
I think your wife is an amazing woman, your daughter is an absolute doll, and you are my hero! We LOVED your documentary! It is remarkable the lengths you went to for ‘the cause’. Given all that, I am so disheartened that I cannot recommend your movie because I am lowering my impact by not buying products with excessive packaging.
The message ‘no impact’ is critically flawed in every way when it comes to humans. Just being born has a tremendous impact on the Earth. But I’m sure you’ve heard this about as many times as I’ve heard, “but how do you get your protein?” . . . . . I start my tirade here as it seems to me that it’s the most obvious place to begin. But wait, a ‘no impact’ movie with an obscene amount of packaging seems, well, absurd! Please tell me that you had no input on the packaging of your DVD! Please tell me that the distributor threatened to force feed you a Big Mac! Please tell me something I can wrap my head around, please!!

I know you’re not trying to be funny, but I can’t help but laugh. This is why I’m waiting until I can check it out from the library!
