FIGHT FOR THE BIGHT AT TRANSITIONS FILM FESTIVAL

Mon 19th Feb 2018

 Mark Delaney brought his kids up in the poor suburbs of Delhi.Returning to Australia he and his son Tom were shocked at our apathy round climate change. Their story is a fresh look at the “small picture solutions” we can all take to reduce our 23 tonnes per person to the 8 tonnes of a European or even the 2 tonnes CO2e of an  average Indian. If you would like to participate in a book club to discuss this text over  four weeks in April contact Vivien at – radioteam@bze.org.au

Daniel Simons will tell us about some of the Transitions Films he has brought us to inspire climate action.

Films such as:  Food Fighter (22nd Feb) The last Animals( 24th Feb) Guardians of the Earth (27th Feb) and The Gateway Bug (2nd March)

Eliza Muirhead  directed one of the Transitions Films called Operation Jeedara with Tim Watters as co director . She will take us to the Great Australian Bight which is still threatened by oil drilling despite BP and Chevron having given up. You can support Sea Shepherd, The Wilderness Society, Greenpeace   and the Mirning People who call the great white whale “Jeedara.”

For climate action be aware that there are massive forests of kelp in these waters quietly sequestering carbon.
