An afternoon of green-tinted film, pancakes and tea to refresh the soul, conscience and stomach.
1-2PM: Carbon Weevils (7 mins): A short and quirky animation taking a look at how the human race has evolved into a weevil-like species consuming the planet.
Global Gardener (30mins): Bill Mollison, founder of the Permaculture movement explains the basics of his philosophy with visits to a variety of inspirational people and projects who are putting Permaculture into practise around the world. For nearly two decades he has traveled the globe spreading the word about permaculture, the method of sustainable agriculture that he devised. Permaculture weaves together microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, water management and human needs into intricately connected productive communities. Mollison has proved that even in the most difficult conditions permaculture empowers people to turn wastelands into food forests.
2-3PM: Carbon Weevils (7mins) See Above
On the Edge of the Forest (43mins): Filmed in a virgin forest in Western Australia shortly before his death, economist E.F. Schumacher makes a powerful plea for common sense and good planetary behavior. Walking through the forest of giant jarrah and karri trees, he reminds us of the efficiency of the perfectly balanced forest ecosystem. We should marvel at it, and learn from it about long-term survival in our biosphere--not "clear-cut" it in the name of economics, and progress. Talking straight to the audience, he is clearly concerned that his message be understood by as many people as possible. If we go on satisfying our wants and needs with such tremendous violence on the front line with nature, then, Schumacher says, we can classify ourselves with the endangered species. For all life depends on the thin mantle of topsoil.
3-4PM: Carbon Weevils (7mins) See Above
The Story of Stuff (20mins): The Story of Stuff is a fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. It exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.
Pancakes and Tea available all afternoon (......plus the bar is open!) Come and join us for one, or all the films.

Steve’s younger than usual guest this month is John Smith. He  may have an unassuming name, but once heard his songs are seldom forgotten. John is a unique and beguiling tunesmith with a highly original style. Playing his acoustic guitar as both a melodic and percussive instrument, John's playing has prompted both hushed appreciation and riotous standing ovations across the land. He’s supported John Martyn, been described by folk giant John Renbourn as "the future of acoustic guitar music". However, there’s a keen sense of the contemporary about John's work that links him with the nu-folk sounds of Jose Gonzalez, Adem and King Creosote. His unashamed romanticism and warm lyrics pervade the earthy storytelling throughout his debut album The Fox and The Monk, released a year ago to much critical acclaim.
