"COMPOSTING"
Composting
is the decomposition of plant remains and other once-living materials
to make an earthy, dark, crumbly substance that is excellent for adding
to houseplants or
enriching garden soil. It is the way to recycle your yard and kitchen
wastes, and is a critical step in reducing the volume of garbage
needlessly sent to landfills for
disposal.
It's
easy to learn how to compost.

Gardener Stephanie Bennett will speak

Presents
A Chemical Reaction
A film by PFZ Media Inc.
A Chemical Reaction is a documentary movie that tells the story of one
of the most
powerful and effective community initiatives in the history of North
America.
It started with one lone voice in 1984. Dr. June Irwin, a
dermatologist, noticed a connection between her patients’ health
conditions and their exposure to chemical pesticides and herbicides.
With relentless persistence she brought her concerns to town meetings
to warn her fellow citizens that the chemicals they were putting on
their lawns posed severe health risks and had unknown side effects on
the environment.
The legal battle between her and the chemical lawn care companies
eventually led many Canadian communities to ban these products.

NICOTINE
BEES
By Kevin Hanson
Nicotine Bees gets to the
truth of why honeybees of the world
are in big trouble and why our food supply is in big trouble with them.
We think the answers are clearand have been for several years.
We filmed on three continents to find
out the real reasons why bees are in catastrophic decline and why many
people don't want the reason to be told.
Although bee population has
been in slow decline for several years, something else started in
2005-2006, a sharp and catastrophic collapse of bee colonies in dozens
of countries simultaneously - with the same weird behaviors.
The Mystery has been Solved!

Afghanistan is a ground-breaking, full-length documentary
