City Repair: Intersection Painting

2013-06-05T05:29:21.612Z

For the past 13 years, a Portland OR non-profit called City Repair has been hosting a “place making” festival that encourages residents to put a special stamp on their neighborhoods.

On June 1, residents who live near Northeast Rodney Avenue and Northeast Tillamook Street (located in the Eliot neighborhood) celebrated the festival, known as the Village Building Convergence, painted a mural in their intersection.

WW was there to capture the 12-hour effort in a time-lapse video.

“This really did what it was supposed to do,” says Nancy Zimmermann Chung, one of the organizers of the event. “It got us all together working on a project, and that’s what VBC is all about. Turning a road that used to be a divider between people into a tool to bring them together.”

Green Gold - Documentary by John D. Liu

Catch and Hold, a permaculture principle humanity has forgotten and defeated nearly everywhere, including Vancouver, teaches the importance of water infiltration into the earth and its absorption into organic-rich soils and plant root systems. Flooding is reduced and water quality is enormously improved, ecosystem services of enormous value.

"It's possible to rehabilitate large-scale damaged ecosystems." Environmental film maker John D. Liu documents large-scale ecosystem restoration projects in China, Africa, South America and the Middle East, highlighting the enormous benefits for people and planet of undertaking these efforts globally.

The principles and lessons from this film need to be applied also in BC, the Lower Mainland, and Vancouver for the costs of ignoring these lessons is already immense.

Natural World: Farm for the Future

2012-05-21T05:52:32.971Z

Wildlife film maker Rebecca Hosking investigates how to transform her family’s farm in Devon into a low energy farm for the future, and discovers that nature holds the key.

With her father close to retirement, Rebecca returns to her family’s wildlife-friendly farm in Devon, to become the next generation to farm the land. But last year’s high fuel prices were a wake-up call for Rebecca. Realising that all food production in the UK is completely dependent on abundant cheap fossil fuel, particularly oil, she sets out to discover just how secure this oil supply is.

Alarmed by the answers, she explores ways of farming without using fossil fuel. With the help of pioneering farmers and growers, Rebecca learns that it is actually nature that holds the key to farming in a low-energy future. (from BBC)
