Beautiful -inspiring-shocking film "Chasing Ice" http://www.chasingice.com/ One of the best films of the decade, with time-elapse scenes of ancient landscapes of glaciers & deep ice that have existed since our collective human memory- that have now melted into water & are releasing ancient air that was been frozen for millennium.
I've been inside deep blue ice crevasses and walked ancient glaciers as a mountain climber- this film captures both the beauty & power of a rarely seen earth landscape, and shows the visual truth of an immense geologic climate change that is happening right now in our lifetime.
This film returns to Pickford Theater Nov 16th-Tues Nov 20th! Not to be missed!

Natural Garden-Farmers! Mark your calendars and join Larry Korn, Tuesday August 14th for two events. Larry Korn is a natural farmer, permaculture educator, and editor/translato rof “One Straw Revolution” (1978), and of Masanobu Fukuoka's new book “Sowing Seeds in the Desert”. Larry now lives near Ashland, Oregon, and will join Farmer Brian for “Natural Farming Observations at Inspiration Farm” from 1-4pm Tuesday.

Join Larry also Tues evening when he will speaks at Village Books at 7pm- http://www.villagebooks.com/village-books-larry-korn-08/14/12 .
“ In Masanobu Fukuoka's newest book, Sowing Seeds in the Desert, the earth is in great peril. Our global trauma, however, can be remedied, but only when we change our methods of earth stewardship, and the very way we think about the relationship between humans and nature... This revolutionary book presents Fukuoka's plan to rehabilitate the world’s deserts and achieve global food security by using natural farming, including practical solutions for feeding a growing human population and providing a deep and renewed understanding of the relationship between human beings and nature.”
