In 1994, the author traveled to Southeast Asia, reaching Sumatra to see wild orangutans amid diminishing rainforests due to logging. Despite challenges, including treacherous roads and scarce food, they visited Bukit Lawang’s wildlife rescue center. A memorable encounter with an infant orangutan sparked their passion for environmental conservation. Years later, witnessing plastic pollution in oceans motivated them to become an activist, organizing film screenings in their community to raise awareness about plastic waste and its impact on wildlife.

Green Screen Solar Cinema – This Changes Everything
What if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we’ll ever get to build a better world? This Changes Everything is an epic attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change. Green Screen Solar Cinema returns to Shelley Theatre for a special World Environment Day screening of this documentary film. Special guests End Ecocide will host a discussion in the auditorium after the film about the issues raised.
Directed by Avi Lewis, and inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction best-seller. The film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines. Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein’s narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.
End Ecocide on Earth is a grass-roots movement aimed at recognising the destruction of ecosystems as an international Crime Against Peace. Ecocide is already prohibited during war time but legal in peace. Time has come to change that and ensure accountability of decision-makers responsible for large-scale destruction of ecosystems, the very basis of life on earth. We are a network of volunteers working across the world for the recognition of Ecocide.
