Orphan date February 2009 refimprove date December 2010 Total Balance refers to whole system scientific methods for adding up the whole effect of things, starting from the concepts of life cycle analysis LCA and using scientific methods to mix physical measures with economic measures and the whole system learning curves of their environmental connections. A balance of future compensations assuming a goal of sustainability is the objective. It is aimed at providing people a true measure of the meaning of their choices. The start is using the energy value of money as a measure of the whole economic system, and its widely distributed average effects. The untraceable portion of whole system impacts may be shown to be many times the scale of the traceable portion when considered that way. It s useful because so much of the impacts distributed in complex systems are unaccountable. The major unaccountable part of economic impacts, for example, is the free use of the money given others for their goods and services. There are no data for what they do with it, making it a perfect hiding place for many times the impacts you readily see. For whole energy impact of a choice the simple first step is to add up the accountable btu s used, like electric bills and LCA accounts, and then add the average economic btu for the cost.

It was directed and produced by twin brothers Wolfgang Lauenstein Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein . The film depicts five individuals living on a small platform floating in space. Whenever one of them moves, the others must do so as well to ensure that the platform does not tip over. The group works cooperatively to maintain a balance until one individual pulls a box onto the platform. Since all are curious as to what the box is, the individuals try to inspect the box and their actions disrupt the balance of the platform, and those on it. All but one of the individuals is pushed or falls off the edges of the platform. In the end, the lone individual must maintain a balance with the box, which is well out of reach. Balance won the Academy Award for Animated Short Film Academy Award for Best Animated Short of 1989.
