One of the most effective energy films ever made, TOAST illustrates our underlying dependence on fossil fuels, and takes as its example the production and distribution of a commonplace item, bread. Using only flowing images set to music, it documents all the fossil fuel inputs, from the oil well head (to make the fertilizer to grow the wheat, etc.) to the toaster.
'One energy film in particular should be seen by everyone of all ages (grades 3 and up) in the whole world, Toast.' New Roots
'A mind-blowing illustration of the misuse of energy.' Energy and the Way We Live
'It packs a creative and emotional punch that will make people, especially younger students, think about energy consumption.' Reel Change

Energy is always available. It
flows in continuous patterns

that have for millions of years supported the
being of all those creatures, including mankind.

To make more use of energy,
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.999
we built expensive, mechanical systems, mostly depended
on stored sunlight draft in limited fossil fuels.
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
As a result, even the simplest
things we produce consume
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
large amounts of these non-renewable resources. Consider
the energy use to produce a single slice of toast.
