FILM: The Climate Wars at Motueka Memorial Hall

Earth: The Climate Wars
Dr Iain Stewart investigates the counter attack that was launched by the global warming sceptics in the 1990s. At the start of the 1990s it seemed the world was united. At the Rio Earth summit the world signed up to a program…
Very cool stuff, Christoph. Can I ask about the methodology of creating the map? Transition Motueka is looking at doing something similar, a food map essentially. Although we're a largely rural area, so it would be growers more than urban foraging.…
Electric assisted, with trolleys etc
ah, community lunch. it always makes wednesdays a good day...
An advice for deterring birds? As you warned, sparrows harvested 100% of our wheat and most of our buckwheat. Pukekos got about 75% of our corn. The amaranth is coming along nicely, we'll see if the birds get that as well.
Considering NZ imports the majority of its staple grains, such as wheat , rice etc, I am interested in looking into the viability of using the CSA model to help increase the production of these and other carbohydrate crops with the domestic market.

- Wow Fantastic stuff!
I must come check it out on my travels this summer as I'm interested in finding a community way of living!
My travels took me to riverside for a summer as a learning experience for community living as this is a way of living which I believe is quintessential to humanity. Yet It did not sit right with my ideal concept of community living.
Motueka is a beautiful rich area Atamai I feel if steered under the right philosophy should be bountiful and prosperous.
Mad ups for for leading the way Jeff and peers!
Blessings!!!
