Film: Rebecca’s Wild Farm – (Farming Without Fossil Fuels)
Thursday, Sept. 16, 7:00 – 8:30 at Putney Library

Wildlife filmmaker Rebecca Hosking investigates how to transform her family's farm in Devon into a low energy farm for the future, and discovers that nature holds the key.

Labor Day 2010- dawns on a changing landscape for workers, and all of us,across the US and Vermont. And, that change is happening at an exponential rate.

There is a series of short info-videos on YouTube, entitled,"Did You Know". The first, I believe, is from 2008, highlighting the theme about living in a world of exponential change. You can view it at this link , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUMf7FWGdCw.. .the music is quite loud, in more ways than one, and you might want to turn your sound down, or off :-)
