Between The Blue And The Green Film Festival

by
You are invited to the documentary screening at AudioActive Worthing on Friday 13th September from 7.30pm, with a 10% discount code (DOCO2024)  for TTW members: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/btbg-filmfestival-13th-sept-documentary-film-screening-tickets-921393060447

The winner this year is a great film from Cornwall’s climate group – Cornwall’s Climate Stories a three part film:

“Under the Surface”-  explores how rising awareness of plastic pollution might be overshadowing the more urgent issue of climate change’s impact on Cornwall’s marine life. Hosted by Claire Wallerstein, it features experts discussing the effects on basking sharks, plankton, seals, and seabirds, while highlighting local efforts to restore the marine environment.

“Plenty More Fish?” narrated by fisherman Ben Church, examines how climate change is affecting Cornwall’s fishing industry, from shifting fish species to more acidic waters. It also highlights innovative solutions, such as zero-carbon fishing boats and tackling invasive species.

“Living on the Edge” Cornwall’s coastline, known for its dramatic waves, faces growing threats from rising sea levels and worsening storms due to climate change. Ultra-runner Emma Hazeldine guides viewers along the Cornish coast path, exploring communities already feeling these impacts and uncovering responses to the challenges ahead.

Claire Wallerstein will be there to do the Q&A after the story and it would be great for her to connect with members of our group.

There is also a Short Film night on Saturday 14 Sept from 8pm – https://wtm.uk/events/between-the-blue-green-film-festival-short-film-screening-15/

WILDING (Q&A SCREENING) – Sun 16th June

by
Our friends at CREW have been invited to moderate a Q&A session following the screening of an incredible film ‘Wilding’ at the Worthing Dome, Sun 16th June, 5.30pm – 7.40pm

Based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book by the same title, WILDING tells the incredible story of a young couple that bets on nature for the future of their failing, four-hundred-year-old estate. The young couple battles entrenched tradition, and dares to place the fate of their farm in the hands of nature. Ripping down the fences, they set the land back to the wild and entrust its recovery to a motley mix of animals both tame and wild. It is the beginning of a grand experiment that will become one of the most significant rewilding experiments in Europe.

Join CREW for an exclusive live Q&A session with Isabella Tree!

Breathing Spaces Rain Garden Event – 20th April

by
What difference can one household make to reducing flood risk?
Find out what a rain garden is, how they reduce surface water run-off to the drains during heavy rainfall, and learn how to make one for the smallest of spaces, cheaply and simply.

Breathing Spaces will talk you through, step-by-step with photos and a video, how to divert your downpipe to a water butt and then to a storm water planter and/or other water-retaining features.

Learn the ratio of the planter box to the size of roof, what soil mix to use, which plants are appropriate and beautiful. There are many different ways of designing a rain garden that suits your home. And even if you need to park a car in it, you can still have drainage that doesn’t add to surface water run-off to our overloaded drains.

Rain Gardens: Reducing Flood Risk One House at a Time
Sat, 20 Apr 2024 14:00 – 15:30
CREW Centre, 8/9 South Street Worthing BN11 3AL
