Catalyst did a good report on the role of science in the climate change debate. It could be used as a good discussion point for a critical thinking exercise on public perceptions of science and authority in the climate change debate:

Game: ElectroCity - online energy production game
The game ElectroCity is was developed as a public awareness tool teaching resources management and energy production. The site is suitable for upper secondary students and adults, with class discussion and critical thinking exercises.
It does have some issues, and is paid for by a major energy provider with interests in continuing the status quo and use of fossil fuels.

Video: RSA Animate - The Empathic Civilisation
An interesting video on empathic functions in the brain, and the idea of spreading empathic understanding to not only other members of the human species, but also to other species and the environment as our "common community".
Video: The Story of Stuff
The film, The Story of Stuff, released in December 2007, is one of the most widely viewed environmental-themed short films of all time. It is an extremely well known example of advocacy journalism.
The film is mainly about the life-cycle of material goods. It outlines the cycle of consumerism and the hidden or secret costs of our consumer goods.
This is Annie Leonard on the Colbert Report (March 9, 2010) talking about the film, book and project:
The Story of Stuff Project was created by Annie Leonard to leverage the film’s impact. The site centres an on-line community of activists, and environmental and social justice organizations worldwide, and hosts a useful range of other films (including on cosmetics and bottled water), curricula and other content.
