For over 30 years, 3CR has become synonymous with radical causes, and for good reason. We got our mojo and its still working a treat! But we have to pay for it to the tune of over two hundred grand each year; and as one of the oldest (and most fabulous) independent music programs on community radio in Melbourne, Burning Vinyl kicks in to stay on air. How do we do it? The power of music, dear friends, the power of music. And so on Saturday 26 July at 7pm, we're putting on a bang at The Tote. The damage is $10/8 so get your concession card and your slush fund together, come down and join us. Bands, Djs, BBQ, 3CR Stall, Art exhibition & a raffle.

SATURDAY 26TH JULY 2008

The True Cost of Food

A kilogram of beef contains between 15,000 and 100,000 litres of embodied water. For every kilogram of wheat grown in Australia, seven kilograms of topsoil are lost. We give lip service to concerns about peak oil and greenhouse gases, yet our agricultural industry is utterly dependent on unsustainable quantities of polluting petrochemicals.

There’s no reason why this insanity can’t be quickly and effortlessly changed to a geoist system of economics which inherently recognises the true value of natural resources. The major obstacle to change actually lies with the peddlers of our current neoclassical economics. You can side with these peddlers and relax, ignore the food riots, have a beer and flick on the TV, or you can come and be prepared in the knowledge that will help in the transition away from the consequences of our dietary choices.

Speaker: Karl Williams
Time: 7 pm, Friday August 1st
Venue: EarthSharing Australia, 1st Floor, 27 Hardware Lane, Melbourne

All welcome, light supper provided, gold coin donation. RSVP appreciated to Karl Fitzgerald or via 9670-2754
