Mixed Greens Environmental Film Series-Garbage Warrior

The City of North Vancouver is hosting a film screening and subsequent discussion about eco-renovations for the public on Thursday, July 17 at 7:00 pm.  The film is Garbage Warrior (Oliver Hodge, UK, 2007, 86 minutes) described as follows:

"Imagine a home that heats itself, that provides its own water and that grows its own food. Imagine that it needs no expensive technology, that it recycles its own waste, that it has its own power source. And now imagine that it can be built anywhere, by anyone, out of the things society throws away. Thirty years ago, architect Michael Reynolds imagined just such a home – then set out to build it. A visionary in the classic American mode, Reynolds has been fighting ever since to bring his concept to the public. He believes that in an age of ecological instability and impending natural disaster, his buildings can – and will – change the way we live. "

Each film is hosted by a City of North Vancouver councillor-this one will be hosted by Councillor Bob Fearnley. After the film, there will be a brief discussion/Q & A about the film, followed by a local guest speaker, Helen Goodland, Executive Director of Light House Sustainable Building Centre.
