Watch the film "Tomorrow"
Please join us to watch the film “Tomorrow” (“Demain”)
Date: Tuesday 12 February, at 7.30 pm.
Venue: Alicetown Community Centre, 38 Victoria Street, Alicetown, Lower Hutt.
We will show and talk about this documentary in two one-hour segments, over two consecutive Tuesdays (12 and 19 February)
This documentary shows beautiful solutions adopted by communities across a number of countries to some of the problems of industrial agriculture, fossil fuel consumption, and social and environmental degradation which have created our current climate emergency, and are rapidly putting the health and wellbeing of ourselves and all other species at risk.
The two halves of the documentary do not depend on each other – they just show different solutions to different parts of the problem. So, if you can only make one of the two evenings, you won’t be missing key arguments or threads, just some of the wonderful solutions shown.
You can see the official trailer for the documentary at www.youtube.com....
And you can indicate your interest or attendance on our Facebook page www.facebook.com...
Come along watch the film, share the group discussion and have a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Any questions please phone Juanita McKenzie on 021422542.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.
