Parts Two and Three of the documentary film 'Regenerating Life,' will be shown on the following Sunday nights: April 28 and May 12, 7-8:30pm at the Congregational Church of Westminster West, 44 Church Street, Putney, VT (address for GPS; actually in Westminster West Village). By donation at the door. Snacks.

Building on his ground-breaking SYMBIOTIC EARTH John Feldman's new film, REGENERATING LIFE, takes an ecological approach to unraveling the climate crisis. It offers a deeper look at the underlying causes of global warming, going beyond carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. Ultimately it is nature—the vast biodiversity that exists on our planet—that regulates and balances Earth's climate.
Feldman explores how life regulates the climate through photosynthesis and the carbon cycle; the water cycle; the dung cycle; and a vast interconnected soil network of fungi, microorganisms, and plant roots. He dives into the economic and political systems that have encouraged this destruction of Earth through the relentless quest for wealth and dominion.

We can help reverse this destructive process by regenerating life across the planet. Feldman visits people who are working on solutions. By working with nature, they are restoring forests, fields, wetlands, and oceans. They are regenerating soils to grow healthy food and build healthy communities, pointing the way to long term solutions to the climate crisis.

The speaker for Part 2 will be Vermont climate/soil/water activist and author of three books on the subject, Judith Schwartz. Vermont is truly blessed with an abundance of internationally known writers and climate activists such as Schwartz and Didi Pershouse (speaker at Part One) who are willing to come meet with us in person about their crucial work to change thinking and reverse some of the harm that has been done to our planet because of misunderstanding of how the Earth's climate regulates itself.

The speaker for Part Three will be Marilyn Chiarello, founder and director of Edible Brattleboro.
