The Worm is Turning
Working with Hokitika’s Regent Theatre, Hokitika's Green Team has arranged for the film “The Worm is Turning – Ecological Farming, the Real Revolution” to be screened on Wednesday 31st May, preceded by a seed swap and followed up with a chat and a cuppa.
The documentary shows where the current corporate model of chemical, monoculture style farming comes from, and how it was spread around the world, using India as the prime example.
The film shows amazing examples of farmers from India, to USA to Australia, demonstrating a better method of farming, both for human health and for a better environment, one that is sustainable and restorative. Study after study has shown that small, ecological farms are in fact more productive and efficient with resources, and are the best model going forward.
Please come and join us to watch the film and discuss the issues and take the opportunity to put questions and ideas to the team for future Green Columns.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
