The Road Ahead: The First Green Long March
(login to rate)
These inspiring films portray young people working for a greener tomorrow. THE ROAD AHEAD tells about the Green Long March project in China, where hundreds of enthusiastic university students fanned out across the disparate geographic regions of China to spread the good word of environmental awareness. Most are studying agriculture and forestry, and many come from rural areas themselves, but they are nonetheless dismayed at their countrymen’s lack of environmental consciousness. Cognizant of the huge task that lies ahead, they still come home hopeful for their future. HOMEGROWN features an ultimate green family on the other side of the world, the Dervaeses of Pasadena, California. This enterprising father and his three adult children have built a working farm on their city plot of land, and they are almost completely self-sustaining. They harvest 6,000 pounds of fruit and vegetables yearly, both for their own consumption and to sell to local restaurants. They generate their own power, make their own biofuel, and maintain livestock. Recently, they’ve begun an outreach program to educate locals on maintaining an eco-friendly lifestyle, and they run websites with urban farming advice. Together, these films demonstrate how change is possible, one green step at a time. (in Mandarin and Cantonese with English subtitles)–B.B.
