An extraordinary film that through the agony of an orangutan succeeds in showing the drama of deforestation and the extinction of forests. Every spasm of Green’s pain is a cry against the destruction that a man is doing to nature. Through the story the author manages to oppose the natural system and the richness of biodiversity with the unsustainable agricultural system. A touching, emotional, worrisome but bright and objective film outlines the dreadful situation of the contemporary society.

Croatan Earth First! invites everyone who cares about the fate of North Carolina's old growth to the Southeastern Regional Rendezvous on Friday through Monday, July 9th-12th. All ages welcome, child friendly, but no dogs!

Come for a fun weekend of camping and workshops.Learn how to climb trees, identify plants, and the basics of wildlife care. Help come up with strategies on how to save the globe forest before it's sold off to timber companies this summer, or just come and play in the waterfall.

Join us at Internationalist Books as we discuss Lierre Keith's controversial new book "The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice and Sustainability" (PM Press, 2009). Derrick Jensen says this book "saved his life", while Alice Walker calls it "one of the most important books we can read" - yet vegans delivered a cayenne-laced pie to the face of the author during her reading at the 2010 San Francisco Anarchist Bookfair! What's all the fuss about?

The U.S. Forest Service plans to sell over 200 acres of mature, hardwood forest (including rare old growth) to logging companies. Our campaign intends to stop them. At this event local activists will present information about the campaign, a short video, and details about an upcoming action camp. The camp will take place Halloween weekend near Boone, North Carolina and will offer a number of workshops. For more info, see http://savetheglobe.wordpress.com or e-mail NCForestDefense@riseup.net.

Join us for a discussion of local Appalachian resistance to mountaintop removal as we read from the inspiring oral history collection "Something's Rising: Appalachians Fighting Mountaintop Removal", featuring former Kentucky coal miner Nathan Smith and Lora Smith, a former organizer with Kentuckians For the Commonwealth.

Join us at Internationalist Books as Asheville-based author Forest Gregg discusses his latest book "SVO: Powering Your Vehicle With Straight Vegetable Oil."

The benefits of straight vegetable oil (SVO) as an alternate fuel for diesel engines are many. SVO is cheap, carbon-neutral, uses a waste product, and does not depend upon centralized corporate infrastructure.

Join us on Monday, March 30th at 7 PM for an exciting presentation, puppet show, slideshow, and discussion about environmental defense movements in the US!
