Well, the CO2 is a bit harder to photograph...

I think the movie is obviously a bit of feel-good propoganda which may appeal to the yuppies or other types who like to be seen patting the natives on the head but the policy is to be applauded. It's the way we have to go if we want to drive cars (or indeed have any other manufactured goods) in the future without flushing the environment down the toilet. I'm impressed by the proactive approach Land Rover has taken rather than just ignoring the issue.
