Earl Marriott Secondary | Energy Crossroads (55 min) This award-winning documentary exposes the problems associated with our energy consumption. The film shows that the use of
renewable energy such as solar and wind power, coupled
with higher efficiency and conservation, will be key factors in preserving our quality of life and paving the way to a
sustainable future for our children. It shows how everyone
can be part of the solution!
The Big Ask (4 min) A poignant and moving short film made by Friends of the Earth in Belgium to help spread the message that we must ‘Act Now’ against climate change.
Kilowatt Ours (25 min) Kilowatt Ours is an inspirational film that demonstrates how easy it is to conserve energy.
It reveals the connection between personal choices and
energy use, introducing us to individuals, businesses, and
schools who have cut their energy use in half. It will teach
you how to dramatically reduce your own energy bill and
improve the environment at the same time. | | | | Thursday, April 23
Simon Fraser University | Farming the Seas (55 min) Aquaculture was intended to take the pressure off ocean fish stocks and help avert global food shortage, but many experts now believe that some forms of “fish farming” are actually creating more problems than they’re solving. This film journeys around world documenting the most important stories as they unfold.
Call from the Coast (27 min) is a captivating documentary
that takes a critical look at salmon farming and its impacts
on BC aboriginals, fishing, ecotourism and wildlife with
stunning footage of BC’s west coast and marine
environment.
