One Screening only - 31st May, 7.00pm

“We’re eating World War 2's leftovers!” For the past 70 years chemical agriculture has been waging war on life.

This is the story of how corporate agribusiness is taking over the world’s food production revealed through historical archival footage, and shows how this system is destroying people’s health, economies and the ecology of the world.
Filmed on location in India, USA, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia THE WORM IS TURNING shows through amazing examples of ecological farming that in fact small ecological farms are more productive, they can feed more people better, and at the same time restore the environment. e c o l o g i c a l f a r m i n g is THE REAL REVOLUTION.

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.

As we head in to winter, check out these 5 top tips for cutting down your power bill:

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.

3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.

4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.

5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

Join us for the 3rd annual Big Bike Film Night, which sees us getying bigger, better and riding back in, out and around New Zealand.

We're the torque of the town and for 2017 we have two collections:- The Big Bike Film Night’s 2017 shares the best cycling short films from around the world with you.

Spinning some wheels with an impressive lineup that includes a stylish look at London’s bike culture, the remarkable story of an American Bike Frame Builder; an absorbing attempt and challenge of cycling up the gruelling 1912 metre peak Mount Ventoux, two very different faces of BMX, with contrasting stories and styles. We also have the homegrown ‘Muscles and Dreams’ documentary, which follows a bunch of good keen men transforming an idea for a gold miner’s road from the 1800's into New Zealand’s longest continuous singletrack The Old Ghost Road on the West Coast.. Get your mates, get your tickets, go on… get your bike and come along for the ride!!
