Day 2 - 266 -- Climate Change and Sustainability

Today was another sunny day, though somewhat cooler than the past couple of days -- still very pleasant weather for the Fall season. In class today we talked about sustainability and climate change and how this can impact food production globally. Many meaty concepts are wrapped up in that topic and discussions were insightful and positive.

This evening a locally made film made its debut at the People's Place -- the library and meeting place in the centre of  downtown. The film, "Listening to our Neighbours" explores climate change in our town and county through the words of those who live here and are working to minimize their impacts and cope with the current changes. It helps us all understand and respect the various livelihoods and how people interact with land and water. I was unable to attend the showing, but was able to view the release online. I'll include that link here for anyone wishing to watch this short (25 minutes) and meet some of my neighbours and colleagues in the community. Understand that these are but a handful of the local people working in community supported enterprises and researching impacts of climate change. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYHNQj9lCyM

A music video was part of the larger film production. I've chosen to share that with you all today. The scenery included is stunning -- I do marvel at the variety and beauty of the forest, sea, marshes and meadows. Enjoy!
